The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office uncovered $40,000, four weapons and multiple drugs after search warrants in both South Tampa and Davis Islands.<\/p>\n
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Two gang members are facing multiple drug trafficking-related charges after Hillsborough County deputies say they uncovered multiple drugs, weapons and thousands of dollars in cash.<\/p>\n
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says it began a two-month-long investigation into members of the Vice Lords gang.<\/p>\n
In that time, investigators conducted a “buy\/bust operation” where they reportedly found 32-year-old Jose Dehoyos delivering two ounces of cocaine to an undercover gang unit detective.<\/p>\n
Deputies say they then served two search warrants at homes in South Tampa and Davis Islands, where they found five pounds of cocaine and marijuana, four pistols, $40,000 and multiple prescription pills.<\/p>\n
Joshua Dehoyos, 48, was arrested in connection to the warrants.<\/p>\n
Both men face multiple charges, including trafficking in cocaine, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful use of a two-way communications device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office uncovered $40,000, four weapons and multiple drugs after search warrants in both South…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-256507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
