Man Charged With Selling Drugs To Undercover Deputies

Deputies arrested a 50-year-old man Wednesday and charged him with selling cocaine to undercover deputies earlier this year, sheriff’s reports said.

Fernando Natal, who listed a general delivery address in Immokalee on arrest reports, was charged with three counts of sale of a controlled substance and three counts of possession with intent to sell a controlled substance.

Arrest reports say an undercover deputy purchased 5 grams of cocaine from Natal in exchange for $100 on Jan. 4.

On Jan. 19 an undercover deputy purchased 4.6 grams of cocaine from Natal in exchange for $100. And on Feb. 15, an undercover deputy purchased 8.1 grams of cocaine from Natal in exchange for $100, reports said.

All of the transactions took place in Immokalee, reports said.

Deputies located Natal at 100 Madison Ave. in Immokalee on Wednesday and arrested him.
