Amy Ross arrested Police confiscated drug materials
Amy Ross arrested Police confiscated drug materials, including heroin, cocaine and marijuana, from her home on Center Ridge Road late Wednesday.
"The mother was very insistent that the cocaine was for personal use." said Capt. Turner, "We don't know what if any role she may have had with the heroin. But, you know, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Westlake Police were able to bust up the heroin ring thanks to some parents who called Westlake High School when they heard rumors of heroin use.
The use and sale of the powerful drug comes as a shock to many students and parents.
"It's surprising to me. I didn't know this would be happening here in Westlake at all." said a Westlake High School junior who did not want to be identified.
"We've got good kids. Kids that never get in trouble in school, never get in trouble in the community, have great grades, they have college ahead of them, and they're getting mixed up in this kind of stuff." said Fortkamp.
According to Capt. Turner, heroin use is on the rise because it is cheap and easy to get. Police are still investigating the heroin ring and there could be more arrests.
