LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – A corrections officer was arrested Wednesday night after an anonymous tip led the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to stop the man's vehicle.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office said a tipster reported that Joshua Crotty was purchasing cannabis in the area, and after an investigation into the allegations, agents conducted the traffic stop.

During a K-9 search of Crotty's vehicle, the agents were alerted to the odor of cannabis, deputies said, adding that a search of the vehicle resulted in agents finding a mason jar containing suspected cannabis that field-tested positive.

Crotty, who has worked at the Lake County Detention Center since October 2006, was arrested and taken to the Lake County Jail. He is charged with purchase of cannabis over 20 grams and is on suspension from work pending his termination.
