HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. - Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister announced Tuesday evening that he was withdrawing his nomination to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Over the weekend, president-elect Donald Trump shared plans to tap Hillsborough County’s twice-elected sheriff to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Shortly afterwards, Chronister called the nomination the “honor of a lifetime” and said he was “deeply humbled by this opportunity to serve our nation.”
