Off-duty cop foils alleged heroin deal

Two men were arrested Thursday after an off-duty officer witnessed an alleged drug transaction involving heroin at a local car wash.
Owenton Policeman Steve Miller said the incident took place at approximately 3:45 p.m., when the off-duty officer saw two white males in a vehicle allegedly transacting illegal drugs at the Owenton Auto Bath and observed the vehicles involved.
“That officer gave it to me personally and I pulled them over at the edge of the (Owenton) cemetery on North Main Street,” Miller said.
