SEBASTIAN — A traffic stop for a suspended license check led to the driver and her sister disclosing they had four syringes in their bras and the driver had a fresh injection mark on her arm, according to a Sebastian Police arrest report.

Police quoted driver Averyl Vanhorn, 23, of the 100 block of Hinchman Avenue, Sebastian, as saying she used one of the syringes to inject oxycodone and the report said "the syringes had a small amount of a white" substance in them.

Vanhorn was arrested on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and on a charge of driving with a suspended license. She is out of the Indian River County Jail under a $1,000 bail.

Her sister, Alissa Vanhorn, 25, also of Hinchman Avenue, was arrested on a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. Her bail is $500.

Police stopped them about 3:55 p.m. Monday in the 2001 block of U.S. 1 after Averyl Vanhorn was seen driving a Lexus by an officer who reportedly knew her license was suspended, according to police reports.
