Posted on Jul 29, 2010

A deputy with the Pasco County Sherriff’s Office conducted  traffic stop on a car driven by Derrick Choate near State Road 52 and Sugar Creek Boulevard.  The car was stopped due to an inoperable tag light.  A K-9 unit arrived at the location and proceeded to walk the exterior of the vehicle.  The K-9 alerted to the presence of an illegal substance in the vehicle.  The deputies conducted a search of the vehicle and located 839 oxycodone pills.  Derrick Choate admitted to the deputies that he did not have a valid prescription for the oxycodone pills.  Derrick Choates is currently in the Pasco County Jail with a bond in the amount of $100,000 for two counts of Drug Trafficking.  A conviction for Drug Trafficking carries a mandatory Florida State Prison sentence.
