Florida Man Tries To Sell Meth To Strip Mall Shoppers

A 46-year-old man's approach to selling methamphetamines at a Florida Keys strip mall landed him in jail Wednesday, according to sheriff's deputies. According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, deputies were sent to the Tavernier Towne Center, located at 91200 Overseas Highway, at around 6:20 p.m. after receiving reports that a man, later identified as Steven Dexter Bennett, was "yelling at shoppers and trying to sell meth to them." Bennett, of Key West, also "threw a beer bottle at one man," MCSO spokesperson Adam Linhardt said in a news release. Linhardt said no one was seriously hurt. He said deputies found nearly 15 grams of meth on Bennett, along with a scale, pipes and a machete after taking him into custody.
