TAMPA - A 19-year-old Valrico man had a bottle of Olde English beer, Xanax and a cutting tool with a razor blade in his possession when deputies saw him and another man sitting in a Ford sport utility vehicle in Valrico on Wednesday night, deputies say.

They also found drugs stored in the Ford and in possession of the other man, John Brothers, according to a criminal arrest affidavit.

Deputies arrested Brothers, 26, and Zachary Ryan Brewer about 9 p.m. Wednesday at State Road 60 and Valrico Road.

Brewer was charged with 12 counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count each of carrying a concealed weapon and possession of alcohol by a person under the age of 21. He also was charged with violating probation.
