The sheriff’s office arrested Chrismanuel Theophile, 25, on multiple counts of selling and distributing heroin and unlawfully using a two-way communication device. 

His arrest Wednesday at a business on the 3500 block of Martin Highway near Florida’s Turnpike was part of a monthlong narcotics operation conducted by the sheriff’s office.

Theophile was taken into custody following a controlled narcotics buy. After his arrest, detectives found that he also had cocaine embedded in his hair, the sheriff’s office said. 

Theophile was placed on immigration-detention status after investigators determined that he is not in the United States legally.
