CINCINNATI -- Two people who were in Lincoln Heights to allegedly buy Oxycontin illegally called police on themselves after they were ripped off in the transaction.
It happened around 8:30 Tuesday night on
Shephard Lane.
Police say they were called to the address for a report of trouble brewing. Once there, they were greeted by a man and a woman who stated they were robbed by a man who drove away from the scene.
After further investigation, 26-year-old Tiffany Dople of Reading, allegedly admitted to police she was there to buy 60 Oxycontin pills. Police searched her and reportedly discovered 10 unknown pills on her.
According to police, Dople says she was going to pay $25 a piece for the pills, leading her to lose $1,725 to the suspect who drove away.
Police also arrested 43-year-old James Carver of Colerain Township at the scene. According to police documents, Carver told officers he was "buying the pills when the subject took his money."
Both are charged with felony drug possession. The pills allegedly found on Dople have been sent away for testing.
Police took a statement from Carver on the man who allegedly robbed them.
A judge set his bond at $5,000 on Wednesday.
Dople was released on her own recognizance.
