POLK COUNTY -- A detention deputy was arrested for selling Oxycontin tablets to undercover detectives.
Shawn Lucas, 30, was taken into custody after detectives received a tip.
The sheriff's office said undercover detectives arranged to meet Lucas in the parking lot of an Auburndale supermarket, and Lucas, who was off-duty at the time, reportedly agreed to sell the pills to the undercover agents for about $200.
Lucas immediately resigned.
