A north Florida sheriff has filed drug charges against a local mayor, saying Bradford County "isn't Toronto." Hampton Mayor Barry Layne Moore was arrested Monday afternoon in Polk County on a Bradford County warrant. Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith appeared to draw a comparison between Moore and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who has admitted to smoking crack cocaine while he was in a drunken stupor. Authorities say Moore faces charges of possessing and selling Oxycodone. Smith said in a prepared statement: "We will not tolerate illegal drug activity in my jurisdiction by anyone to include our elected officials." The Florida Times-Union (http://goo.gl/cAO4QM ) reports that Moore was being held on $45,000 bail. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney. Ford has not been charged with an offence.
