Miami-Dade police say a monthlong undercover investigation found that Green had been selling drugs at a gas station near Felix Varela High School in West Kendall. He is not accused of dealing directly to students, but investigators are still exploring the possibility.

Detectives raided Green's South Miami-Dade home and reported finding nearly 30 grams of cocaine, 790 grams of marijuana and more than $2,000 in cash.

Green was being held without bond. Jail records didn't list an attorney.
