TAMPA - Tampa Police say the OK Liquor Store at 3607 North Nebraska Avenue sold Viagra to undercover police officers three times in the last three weeks.
Police began investigating after receiving a tip that employees were selling the drug typically used for erectile dysfunction from the drive-thru window.
Undercover officers drove to the window and made three separate purchases of Viagra pills for $16 each.
A search of the business revealed 43 Viagra pills and 9 Cialias pills. The pills were being illegally mailed to the liquor store from Canada. Additionally, in excess of $20,000 was seized as the money was derived from illegal means.
Police arrested employee Douglas Dale Arp, 54, of Tampa, and charged him with Possession of Certain Drugs without a Prescription. He was also in possession of marijuana at the time of his arrest.
The investigating officers are working with the State Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco to pursue revoking the store's license.
