Agents with the City-County Investigative Bureauon Thursday afternoon said they witnessed a drug transaction in the parking lot of a Chevron, located at the intersection of State Road 434 and Champion Avenue in the Longwood area.

"Agents surrounded the suspect vehicle in which the transaction was occurring.  Agents gave the male suspect sitting in the driver’s seat, multiple commands to show his hands and exit the vehicle," said Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokesman Bob Kealing.  "However, the suspect refused to comply."
