Ogle County Sheriff's police have made another arrest in connection with heroin being sold in the area.
38-year old Jay Moore, 40-year old Shasta Alonzo, along with 24-year old Tyler Smith, all from Rockford, were arrested Tuesday on the felony offense of delivery of a controlled substance, heroin, within 1,000 feet of a park.
