A 20-year-old man who shares his name with the 40th President of the United States, an international airport and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was arrested early Tuesday morning during an undercover drug operation, according to a criminal arrest affidavit.

Ronald Reagan Reed, 1942 31st St. S., St. Petersburg, has been charged with delivery of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.

Tampa police say Reed agreed to sell the cocaine to an undercover officer near Westshore and Kennedy Boulevards just after midnight Tuesday. Reed used a cellular phone to contact the undercover officer and arrived at the location of the buy with crack cocaine packaged in clear plastic and hidden inside a foam cup, the affidavit states.

Reed is also known by the alias "King," according to the affidavit.

He was being held Tuesday night at Orient Road Jail on $17,500 bail.
