Alleged Peru heroin dealer indicted

A man arrested during what police called a significant heroin bust has been indicted. Jeffrey Scholle of Peru was indicted Tuesday by a grand jury for unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

Scholle was accused of having 50 grams of heroin and about $10,000 in cash when officers raided his home on Pulaski Street in early December. Scholle remains in the La Salle County Jail with his bond set at $2 million.
