A habitual traffic violator with a suspended license is facing drug-dealing charges, after deputies caught her driving Monday night.

The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department reports that officers saw 35-year-old Heather L. Walker driving at about 10:30 Monday night on Executive Drive near the Edinburgh Outlet Mall. Deputies recognized Walker and knew she had a lifetime driving ban, so they stopped and arrested her.

During a search, they allegedly found 3.5 grams of what police believe is heroin, along with plastic bags and other drug related paraphernalia.

She is facing preliminary charges of possessing and dealing heroin along with possession of drug paraphernalia.
