PORT RICHEY - The deal was set up in advance but it quickly crumbled.

The drug dealer went to Gulf View Square about 5 p.m. Sunday and met his three buyers outside the mall, a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report states. But when he got into their car, one of the men put a gun to his head and demanded cash and OxyContin.

He gave them the pills and $509, the report states, then gave chase as the trio headed south on U.S. 19. He also called authorities.

A deputy quickly found the men hiding behind a closed business, the report states. Arrested were: George Summerhill, 24, of 6735 Hammock Road, Port Richey; Cuong Trung Huynh, 22, of West Virginia; and Kyle Anderson, 22, of Barnsville, Ohio.

Each faces a charge of armed robbery. Huynh also faces a marijuana possession charge after deputies found about 100 grams of marijuana in the back of his car, a report states. He is being held at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $55,000. Summerhill and Anderson each is being held on $50,000 bail.

The victim hadn't been arrested as of this morning.
