A Florida man has been federally charged after investigators said he got $1,800 worth of erectile dysfunction drugs with the intention of distributing them locally in a popular retirement community.
The 77-year-old resident of The Villages, a massive retirement community between Orlando and Gainesville that has become infamous (albeit due to some tall tales) for its lively and frisky residents. The community was even the subject of a 2020 documentary titled "Some Kind Of Heaven".
The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Middle District of Florida charged the defendant, Reginald Kincer, by information with receipt of misbranded drugs in interstate commerce, the office said in a press release. The charging document said that the drugs included Snovitra-20, Vilitra 20, Cenforce 100, Vidalista 20, Tadalafil Tablets 20, Kamini Sildenafil Oral Jelly, Kamagra Oral Jelly and Vardenafil.
The office alleged that he planned to redistributing them locally and outside of Florida.

'It won't hold up in court'
The defendant's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, he spoke with WESH 2 at his home about the charges.
“They are trying to do the right thing, and I'm trying to do the right thing, too,” the defendant told WESH 2 News.
Residents of The Villages seem to be in on the joke.
"It won't hold up in court,” one local man said to WESH 2.
"A man is just trying to do a girl a favor," a local woman added.
The allegations are under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and if the suspect is convicted, he could face up to $10,000 in fines and one year in prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
