The long arm of the law didn't have to reach far in Polk County, authorities said Friday.
A county detention deputy was arrested on charges of selling prescription pain pills to undercover sheriff's detectives.
The deputy, Shawn Thomas Lucas, 30, resigned. He is accused of selling pills with a street value of $200, to detectives Thursday night in Auburndale, authorities said.
Deputies said the charge against Lucas was upgraded to armed drug trafficking because a loaded .45-caliber handgun was found in his pickup.
Lucas worked at the South County Jail for more than two years
