NAPLES — Collier County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 47-year-old Marco Island man Wednesday after they say he attempted to purchase Oxycontin pills from an undercover investigator.
Edward Leroy Orr, 29 Madagascar Court, was charged with attempting to purchase a controlled substance, a third-degree felony.
Around 5:45 p.m. the undercover investigator met Orr at the Freedom Square Plaza at the intersection of Collier Boulevard and U.S. 41, the Sheriff’s Office reported. The investigator negotiated to sell Orr nine placebo Oxycontin pills for $120.
Orr handed the investigator $118 in exchange for the placebo pills, reports said. He was then arrested.
