A UPS employee is accused of stealing 10,400 oxycodone pills that were supposed to be delivered to pharmacies, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said.

John Concannon, 30, of Port Richey, is charged with felony trafficking in a controlled substance. He was released from the Land O' Lakes detention center Thursday on $15,000 bond.

Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll said UPS contacted the sheriff's office about the missing pills about three months ago.

An investigation found that Concannon had taken 14 packages of the prescription painkiller - about 104 bottles of pills - from the UPS warehouse in Port Richey from June through April, Doll said.

It appears that the packages of pills that were taken came from one vendor, UPS spokesman Dan McMackin said.

After his arrest Wednesday, Concannon told investigators he sold the pills for $600 a bottle. Each bottle contained 100 30 mg pills.

Seized from Concannon's home were 138 grams of marijuana, 10 vials of steroids, 181 pills of alprazolam (Xanax) and $1,058 in cash, the sheriff's office said.
