Deputy Rich Lohbauer Arrested for Buying Prescription Narcotics

A Marion County Sheriff's deputy has been arrested for allegedly buying prescription narcotics.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement began investigating deputy Rich Lohbauer in May after the sheriff's office received a tip he may be buying pills.

On Friday, FDLE officers allegedly saw Lohbauer approach a woman's car and make an exchange. After being stopped, Lohbauer allegedly admitted buying 16 oxycodone pills for $100.

Chief of Staff Tim Wilder says Lohbauer was a good employee, and the arrest shocked him.

It was the second time in just over a week a Marion County deputy ended up in trouble. Earlier, Darius Harper was arrested for allegedly soliciting a prostitute.
