According to Fox 13 News, an investigation into Roberts’ activities began after detectives learned that a volunteer was selling Oxycodone and that the prescription pills had been found inside a patrol car.
After investigators learned Roberts was getting 90 Oxydone pills a month for the past two years and selling them for $10 apiece, an undercover deputy offered him $12 a pill, Fox 13 News stated.
Roberts agreed to meet the undercover deputy at a Lake Wales gas station and directed them to his patrol car for the transaction. Sheriff Judd says Roberts sat in the car, in uniform, as he counted the undercover deputy’s money and then handed over a baggie with the pills, according to Fox 13.
“That makes me so crazy I want to pluck my eyeballs out one at a time,” Judd stated.
