DEPUTY IS CHARGED IN MARIJUANA PROBE

Authorities say they have arrested a deputy for her alleged role in a marijuanaselling business following a month-long investigation.  St.  Lucie County sheriff 's deputies said an anonymous tipster told them deputy Heather Tucker, 27, was involved in drug activity.

Authorities searched the apartment she was staying at with her boyfriend and another couple Friday and said they found felony amounts of marijuana, packaging materials and other items typically associated with the sale and distribution of marijuana.

Tucker was charged with marijuana possession of more than 20 grams, marijuana possession with intent to sell and possessing drug equipment.

"When the St.  Lucie County Sheriff 's Office has to arrest one of our own, I and the members of the Sheriff 's Office feel heartbroken and disappointed," St.  Lucie County Sheriff Ken J.  Mascara said in a statement.

"However, we must police our own to maintain the public's trust."
