On December 12, 2011 the Levy County Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force comprised of Agents with the Chiefland Police Department and the Sheriff's Office arrested Torry F. White.  Agents utilized a confidential source to conduct a control purchase of narcotics. The confidential source was issued $ 120.00 of US Currency to buy pills from Torry White also known as "Big White".  Big White sold 25 pink pills that were later identified through the 2012 Narcotic Identification Bible as Lortab.  Lortab is subscribed by physicians for pain management.

 

Upon the illegal drug transaction "Big White" drove away in his 2001 Chevrolet with Florida tag 232-LNV westbound on County Road 345 and was stopped by Agents at NW 55 Ave.  Agents immediately arrested "Big White" and recovered the Sheriff's buy money.  "Big White" was arrested for trafficking in Lortab and the total weight was 21.5 grams.  Per Florida State Statues anything over 4.0 grams is considered to be a trafficking amount of pills.  "Big White was additionally charged on two Levy County warrants for trafficking in oxycodone during two separate undercover drug buys that occurred prior to this drug deal.
