Roberts told police his daughter was a heroin addict and “a problem” and that he drove her from New Lebanon to the North Gettysburg Avenue area in Dayton to buy heroin because she was “becoming ill from the withdrawal,” the report stated.
When police approached their vehicle, Brown allegedly ducked down and tried to hide a syringe. She also told police she swallowed two gel capsules of heroin to conceal them, according to the report.
Brown was arrested and booked into the Montgomery County Jail on suspicion of several felony charges, including drug possession, possession of drug abuse instruments and tempering with evidence. She has since been released.
Roberts was booked on suspicion of permitting drug abuse, a misdemeanor, and remained in jail Sunday night. He is scheduled to appear in court Monday afternoon.
