On Tuesday, June 21, detectives with the Highland County Sheriff’s Office made heroin-related arrests at a local Hillsboro business, according to a news release from the  HCSO.

The arrests were the result of an ongoing investigation by detectives with the Highland County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. 23 Major Crimes Taskforce, and the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office into heroin trafficking taking place in the area.

Arrested were Teshawn Ways, 30, of Dayton and Michael Long, 30, also of Dayton.  

Both subjects were taken into custody in the parking lot of a local business without incident. Both were charged with possession of heroin, a felony of the third degree, the HCSO said.

Both individuals are currently being held under a $150,000 bond issued by Hillsboro Municipal Court, after appearing for arraignment on June 22.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday, June 30.

Ways is also under the supervision of the Dayton office of the Ohio Adult Parole Authority for a prior felony conviction and may face additional sanctions by the Adult Parole Authority.

The case will also be forwarded to the office of Anneka Collins, Highland County prosecuting attorney, for presentation to an upcoming session of the Highland County Grand Jury, where additional felony charges are possible, the HCSO said.[[In-content Ad]]
