HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Hillsborough County deputies removed illegal drugs, seized guns, and made 12 arrests in a proactive enforcement effort, authorities said.
On Thursday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Interdiction Criminal Apprehension Team (ICAT) conducted 161 traffic stops.
They seized five firearms, two cars, confiscated over $5,800 in drug money, and removed more than 190 grams of illegal narcotics from our streets, according to a press release.
Among those arrested was Detrick Lovett, 34, who was found with a firearm, synthetic cannabinoids, and a digital scale. And Keyron Johnson, 38, was caught with 22 grams of cocaine, marijuana, and cash. His car was seized, and he faces multiple felony charges.
“ICAT is relentless when it comes to stopping criminals before they can do more harm," said Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
