Police searched the vehicle and report finding 30 needles, several items of paraphernalia, heroin, and counterfeit $100.00 bills.

DeHart was booked into the Orange County Jail and charged with OWI controlled substance, possession of a narcotic drug (heroin), possession of paraphernalia, and possession of a syringe.

The passenger, 42-year-old Curt Brinkman, was also arrested and booked into the Orange County Jail for possession of a narcotic drug (heroin), and for possession of a syringe and paraphernalia.

The counterfeit money will be submitted to and reviewed by the prosecutor.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
