Two Dayton men remained in custody Friday after officers allegedly came upon them as they prepared to shoot heroin.

Stephen Beach and Timothy Donald Larson, both 22, were arrested in the rear parking lot of the Sizzler on North Carson Street when police got a report that the men seemed suspicious sitting in a parked car.

As an officer approached, he allegedly witnessed the men trying to hide items. After asking the men to step out of the vehicle, the officer stated in the arrest report, he noticed a hypodermic needle sticking out from between the passenger seat and the center console. When the item was recovered it was loaded with a "black tar" substance suspected to be heroin.

Two additional balloons of heroin and a spoon with drug residue were recovered from the vehicle as well, the report states.

Beach is being held on suspicion of felony possession of heroin, Carson City warrants charging felony burglary and grand larceny, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and a misdemeanor violation of a suspended sentence. Bail was set at $9,606.

Larson is being held on suspicion of felony possession of heroin and misdemeanor hypodermic needle. His bail was set at $3,632.
