NAPOLEON - As head of the local D.A.R.E. program, Debra Pittman has been teaching Henry County school children to say no to drugs and alcohol.

Now, the longtime sheriff's deputy is in trouble with the law, allegedly for driving drunk while she was off duty.

Ms. Pittman, 42, of Napoleon, a county sheriff's deputy for nearly 25 years, was arrested about 1:18 a.m. Friday by Ohio Highway Patrol troopers in Defiance.
