A man from Detroit has been arrested on drug charges a short time after apparently getting off a bus in Huntington.
According to the criminal complaint, on Monday members of the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force were conducting surveillance at the bus station when they observed a man carrying a suitcase to a car.
Officers then followed that car, and ended up stopping it after they say the driver ran a red light.
Officers say during a search of the car they found 62 bags of a tan substance that later tested positive for heroin. They said the heroin was wrapped in a pair of jeans in the suitcase. They also say the found several bags of marijuana in a jacket pocket.
Task Force members later charged Gerald Height, 36, of Detroit with two counts of possession with intent to deliver.
Height is being held in the Western Regional Jail.

Ex-Mohawk chief faces new drug charges in NYC bust
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – A 69-year-old former chief of the St. Regis Mohawk tribe is in jail facing new federal drug charges that he tried to sell 1,800 ecstasy pills to an undercover agent in Queens.
The Drug Enforcement Administration says Philip H. Tarbell offered the pills in his trunk for $10 each and said he could also provide large quantities of marijuana.
Tarbell, of Hogansburg, already faces sentencing next week for having two hockey bags full of marijuana in his minivan last November when he was stopped by border patrol agents in the Adirondacks.
Federal prosecutors have recommended 18 to 24 months in prison for Tarbell's guilty plea in that case.
Defense attorney Michael Rhodes-Devey, who requested leniency due to Tarbell's service as a tribal leader and military veteran, declined to comment Tuesday.
