A drive down Main Street with undimmed high beams Oct. 5 led to a traffic stop, which in turn led to the arrest of two individuals on drug-related and other charges, Hellertown Police said in a news release Tuesday.

According to the news release, at approximately 11:40 p.m. an officer stopped a vehicle operated by Sabrina M. Dailey, 29, of the 10000 block of Upper Little Creek Road, Lower Mount Bethel Township, for allegedly proceeding past oncoming traffic with high beam headlights on in the 1600 block of Main Street.

Police said that after stopping her, it was determined that Dailey was allegedly operating the vehicle with a driver’s license that is suspended because of a prior DUI.

A passenger in the vehicle who police identified as Tyrell M. Vosper, 19, of the 100 block of Arrow Head Court, Phillipsburg, N.J., then allegedly provided false identification by giving police the name “Jakob Thomas” when questioned about his identity, police said.

After Dailey was given field sobriety tests, police said she was placed under arrest for allegedly driving under the influence of a controlled substance, for which she was later charged.

Dailey’s vehicle was impounded, and police said that during an inventory of it a small amount of heroin, marijuana and various items of drug paraphernalia were allegedly found in it.

She is also charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance, according to the news release and court records.

Vosper is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a small amount of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance and providing false identification to law enforcement, according to the release and court records.

Both Vosper and Dailey have preliminary hearings scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 5 at 3 p.m. before District Judge Alan Mege at Northampton County District Court 03-2-04 in Lower Saucon Township, court records indicate.
