A two-month undercover operation has led investigators to about 1.1 pounds grams of cocaine and about 14 ounces of marijuana, Hillsborough County deputies say.
Deputies arrested Demetrium Silas Shaw, 28, of Plant City, on Friday night.
He was charged with two counts of trafficking in cocaine and one count each of possession with intent to deliver marijuana and being a felon in possession of ammunition.
About 10 p.m. Friday, investigators from several agencies including the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and the Plant City Police Department searched Shaw's home at 106 S. Forest St. They found the cocaine and marijuana, two loaded semi-automatic handguns and nearly $1,300, deputies say.
The estimated street value of the drugs is about $45,000, deputies say.
Shaw remained in Falkenburg Road Jail today. His bail was set at $309,500.
