Two men were arrested for allegedly shooting heroin in a parking lot of a Dollar General store.

Steubenville Police say an employee of the store called and advised them of what what looked to be drug activity going on in their parking lot. When officers arrived, they say they found two people in a pick-up truck who were allegedly attempting to hide something when officers approached the truck.

Officers say they found a hypodermic needle underneath a seat where Richard Truax was sitting. Truax reportedly told police that he had recently purchased heroin from somewhere in the 2500-2600 block of Steubenville and had just injected it. The owner of the truck, Tyler Israel, allegedly admitted to police that Truax was purchasing heroin because they had to park in a neighborhood off of Sunset Boulevard and had to walk to meet the dealer.

Truax is charged with a bench warrant, possession of drugs and possession of drug abuse instrument. Israel is charged with permitting drug use. Both Truax and Israel are from Weirton.
