CHILLICOTHE – A Chillicothe officer made an arrest after a person flagged him down passing Wendy’s on North Bridge Street with the report of one person passed out and another acting suspicious in a gray Hyundai Sonata.
According to police reports when the officer walked up to the car the driver Duane Lansing-Howard appeared to be sleeping, and the passenger Timothy Kerry was observed holding a glass pipe with burn marks on it and appeared to be preparing it to ingest narcotics.

The officer then placed Kerry under arrest, and asked the driver Howard to exit the vehicle due to having drug paraphernalia being in the vehicle. During the pat down of Howard officers found a pipe with white residue, a plastic bag that contained 3 orange pills and he was placed under arrest.
