(Dearborn County, Ind.) - An Ohio man was busted for meth after a routine traffic stop last week in Dearborn County.
Dustin M. Heid, 34, of Addyston, Ohio, was traveling on U.S. 50 near Sycamore Estates Drive on March 31 when he was pulled over by Aurora Police for driving with a suspended license.
