PORT RICHEY - A 19-year-old Port Richey man faces charges of selling marijuana near a church or school, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said.

Anthony Kennedy, 7240 Deerfield Drive, was arrested Friday afternoon on charges stemming from several incidents during the summer where he sold drugs to undercover officers, the sheriff's office said.

Kennedy faces two charges of selling marijuana within 1,000 feet of a church, one charge of selling marijuana within 1,000 feet of a convenience store and one charge of carrying a concealed weapon, among other charges, records show.

He is being held today at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $44,150.

DUI Stop Leads To Drug Charges

SAN ANTONIO A Tampa man faces charges of cocaine possession and driving under the influence after he was stopped while driving north on Interstate 75, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Rolando L. Diaz, 31, of 3130 W. Lambright Ave., was arrested about 11:30 p.m. Friday, the patrol said. An off-duty Tampa police officer saw Diaz's vehicle weaving on the interstate and stopped him at State Road 52 and called 911.

Diaz thought he was on the Veterans Expressway heading to Ybor City, the patrol said. His blood-alcohol level was about 0.05 – below the legal limit of 0.08 – but he failed roadside sobriety tests.

When Diaz was booked at the Land O' Lakes Jail deputies found a small bag in his pocket that tested positive for cocaine, the patrol said.

He is being held today at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $3,250.
