CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — A Miami baseball player has been arrested and accused of selling marijuana to undercover police officers on university grounds. Frank Ratcliff is also facing a charge of possessing 19 vials of human growth hormone.
Ratcliff was booked early Thursday into Miami-Dade corrections custody on $17,500 bond. He faces a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, another marijuana possession charge and a third charge of possessing a controlled substance.
Officer Kelly Denham of the Coral Gables Police Department says a search of Ratcliff’s off-campus apartment after the marijuana arrest revealed the vials of Hygetropin, a synthetic form of HGH.
Under Florida law, anyone guilty of selling narcotics on school grounds would face a minimum three-year prison sentence.
