Subsequent tests would confirm the bags contained heroin. Bickley, was charged with possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, and will appear before Stow Municipal Court Judge Lisa Coates on July 3 for a preliminary hearing, according to stowmunicourt.com.
Where's my $2K sneakers?!
A Cuyahoga Falls resident purchased a pair of LeBron 10 "What the MVP" limited edition sneakers from eBay for $2,100, but received just an empty box when the package arrived in the mail, according to a June 21 police report.
