TAMPA, Fla. - A 35‑year‑old man now confronts felony drug charges after Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies stopped him early Saturday at a Tampa gas station.
Around 6:27 a.m. on October 10, 2026, deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office pulled over a car lacking a visible license tag near the intersection of East Bearss Avenue and North Florida Avenue.

During the stop, deputies searched the driver, Michael Rosario, and found more than four grams of fentanyl on his person.
A subsequent vehicle search uncovered several pieces of jewelry, which investigators say may be linked to a theft reported in July.
Deputies arrested Rosario at the scene, and he now faces multiple charges, including trafficking in fentanyl (4 to 14 grams).
The sheriff’s office emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and additional charges could be filed.
