GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. — A Clay County man faces drug charges following an investigation into his alleged drug dealing.
The Green Cove Springs Police Department began investigating Chris Pelletier several months ago after he was suspected of selling drugs near Spring Park, police said.
On April 19, the department received a Facebook message from Pelletier saying he had been harassed by an officer watching him on several occasions around the city, according to police. On one such occasion, Pelletier claimed he confronted the police officer, asking why they were watching him.
Pelletier claimed the officer responded by saying, "I don't appreciate drug dealers," police said.
Afterward, Pelletier told police he worked for Uber Eats and wanted to report the issue to police before going public, according to the Green Cove Springs Police Department.
A Green Cove Springs Police Officer arrested Pelletier for possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said. Another charge, sale and delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public park, has since been added.
