They saw a vehicle matching the description given by the caller at West Bertsch and Cortright streets.They arrested the driver, Sean Gallagher, and charged him with driving under the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia. They noticed Reithoffer was nervous during the pat-down and that she attempted to take something out of her shirt. Police ordered her to stop moving and asked Summit Hill Officer Lori Leinhard, who was assisting, take her back to the station to a secured area for a pat-down. While undergoing the second attempt, Reithoffer removed a hypodermic needle she had hidden in her bra. She also had in her possession a crack pipe made from a white plastic pen, with drug residue, inside her makeup case.
