A veteran Detroit firefighter is facing charges for selling drugs.

The unnamed firefighter is accused of selling are hydrocodone, Vicodin and Adderall in three different cities, according to Fox2. 

The station did not report the firefighter's name because he has not been arraigned. But, the 15-year veteran of DFD is a resident of Grosse Pointe Park and is said to be well-liked, reporters noted.

He is charged in Eastpointe and Roseville with delivery and manufacturing of a controlled substance less than 50 grams, which is a seven-year felony.

Chief James Harris said they will not tolerate any criminal activity at all, but they will conduct their own internal investigation.
