CHEVIOT - A year-long investigation into drug complaints led to six arrests and seven citations against Stewart's Irish Pub.

Residents have complained about the bar for more than a year, Sgt. Ed Taylor said Monday. But it was difficult for the department to do much about the complaints because of its few officers (10 full-timers), he said, and because the officers are too well known by customers at the Harrison Avenue bar.

That changed in October, when City Council approved an extra $25,000 to spend on drug enforcement. Officers got help from the Ohio Investigative Unit, which cited Stewart's for allowing improper conduct and for not having any food available.Taylor said undercover officers bought powder cocaine multiple times from a barmaid.

Arrested on drug charges: Neil Borgemenke, 31; Candace Hignite, 26; John Gunnewick, 40, and Ronald Boenitsch, 53, all of Cheviot; Jack Goodrich, 56, of Westwood; and Pamela Wilkening, 45, of Delhi Township.
