The suspect reportedly ran from local reporters when they confronted him about the accusations. Deputy Francisco Melo with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office was arrested last week on the charges. Detectives stopped Melo as he was getting ready to board. They searched his bag and found 60 MDMA pills, according to the report.
The pills matched the ones the defendant purchased earlier, according to the report. Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz had been with the department for three years and released a statement after his arrest. “Narcotics don’t just harm those who use them, they devastate families, and fuel crime. The actions of this individual are a betrayal of the public trust and of all the deputies who work tirelessly to protect our community,” Cordero-Stutz said, according to WSVN-TV.
