A local tea party activist found himself behind bars Thursday, accused of selling oxycodone.
John "J.R." Roth, 60, of Cold Spring was arrested by Highland Heights Police Thursday night and charged with felony trafficking in a controlled substance. Police allege in the arrest citation Roth sold 10 "dosage units" of oxycodone to a "cooperating witness."
