Florida Mayor Arrested For Selling Drugs

Via Miami Herald reports:

Hampton Mayor Barry Layne Moore was arrested Monday afternoon in Polk County on a Bradford County warrant.

Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith drew a comparison between Moore and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who has admitted to smoking crack cocaine while he was in a drunken stupor.

Authorities say Moore faces charges of possessing and selling Oxycodone.

Smith said in a prepared statement: “We will not tolerate illegal drug activity in my jurisdiction by anyone to include our elected officials.”

The Florida Times-Union reports that Moore was being held on $45,000 bail. It wasn’t clear if he had an attorney.

“The investigation revealed the mayor obtained and then sold some Oxycodone,” the statement alleged.

Moore, 51, is charged with possession of a Schedule I or II drug and selling a schedule I or II drug. He has yet to post the $45,000 bail a judge imposed.

This isn’t the first time cops have arrested Moore.

According to police records, Moore was arrested on a battery charge in Oct. 2012 and a probation violation last December.

Rob Ford and this Florida scumbag should get their own reality show!
