The former mayor of a Florida town - who is facing multiple charges, including allegedly shooting at cops and conspiring to impede an investigation against him - reportedly smoked crack cocaine nightly and used meth while he was still in office.
The new allegations against former Port Richey Mayor Dale Massad were revealed in court records obtained by the Tampa Bay Times on Thursday. Massad, while he was in office, allegedly received drugs via drug runners and acted as a doctor for friends at his home, the newspaper reported.
An investigation into Massad was reportedly launched after authorities received tips that Massad was engaging in corruption, using drugs and acting as a doctor in his home. Massad had previously lost his medical license in 1992 over a toddler’s death, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Massad was arrested in February for allegedly shooting at Pasco County sheriff’s deputies who were trying to serve a search warrant at his residence after reports he was operating an illegal medical practice at his home. He eventually surrendered to police and was taken into custody.

He looks like Mitt Romney.
With Medicare for all, or one-payer health-care, that kind of ‘doctor’ would be the only affordable alternative.
Enhancing his resume so he can run for President as a dumbocrat.
I’m guessing he practiced gynecology
He has the “thousand yard stare” of a soldier with battle fatigue.
The cops swatted his house, and he reacted normally to that.
There was public outcry, and it hasn't favored law enforcement. No drugs were found, as I recall.
Now there are all these belated specifics as to the alleged reason for the raid, but no indication that there might be any evidence of any sort to back them up.
I'm not saying that it isn't possible that the guy is a coke-head, but given what's gone before I'm not going to join the mob in Kavanaughing him without hard evidence.
Pasco County is the meth capital of Florida!
Massad rhymes with Assad. Hmmm.
We can assume what party because it is not mentioned much like a perp who we know is black or latino is know where to be found in the article
It may well be.
But they couldn’t accuse the former Mayor of meth, because nobody would buy the meth head accusation due to him having good teeth and not being emaciated.
So they picked cocaine instead.
I’m embarrassed. Port Richey FL is near me... Beautiful town, crazy politics...
He’s got those crazy eyes.
Looks like they dialed down the reports. According to the news reports it was a swat team that came to arrest Massad at his house.
This is not as uncommon as you’d might think in Florida. Mayor “Buddy” Dyer was in jail when he was mayor of Orlando, FL.
“The Florida Man is a bit of an enigma.
He is the frayed fabric of a worn tobacco ring in his left back pocket.
He lives in the breeze that goes through your hair while doing donuts on an ATV.
He is the slight echo in the air when someone says, “Hey, watch’is!” He is Florida, and Florida is him...”
