This article has been read 83 times.

A former Washington man's admission to Washington County Jail was delayed for a short time Friday morning after he claimed that he had balloons containing heroin in his body.

Eugene Davis, 37, was picked up Friday on a warrant stemming from a traffic stop more than a year ago on Interstate 79 near the Meadow Lands exit in South Strabane Township. After being arraigned on the charges before District Judge Jay Dutton, he was taken to jail on $10,000 bond.
