PROBATION FOR FORMER MAYOR

VIERA, Fla., The former mayor of Indialantic has been sentenced to two
years of probation after pleading no contest to a charge of attempting to
sell **cocaine**.

32-year-old Todd Deratany, the son of former state legislator Tim Deratany,
resigned from office in April, one day after he was arrested.

Authorities say Todd Deratany loaned his Jeep to a female friend, knowing
she would use the vehicle to complete a **drug** transaction.

Deratany is a private attorney, but says he will work as a cab driver now
that the Florida Bar has suspended him pending the outcome of an
investigation of his actions.
