A group of three men and a woman were kicking the ball across traffic, police said.
A soccer ball being kicked around a Home Depot parking lot led an officer to a man in possession of heroin, Mansfield Township police said.
At 12:37 p.m. June 7 the officer found three adult men and an adult woman walking across the Home Depot parking lot through traffic and kicking the ball. The trio continued to kick the ball across the road until it landed near a fence and they left it there, according to police.
An officer stopped the group and found Dylan A. Grieco, 24, of Mansfield, was in possession of a hypodermic needle and heroin. Grieco was arrested and charged with possession of a hypodermic needle and possession of heroin.
He was released pending a court appearance.
