They then saw her cross over the center line twice and fail to use her signal when turning, they said.

She was stopped near the intersection of Jean Lane and 167th Street in .

"I observed Rachel's eyes to be glassy and her pupils to be extremely large," an officer wrote in the report. "… While Rachel was speaking she seemed extremely nervous."

Yates initially denied having anything illegal on her or in the vehicle, the report said, but later directed police to a stash of heroin in her bra. Her passenger, Anthony L. McCarthy, 34, of the 11600 block of Roberts Road in Mokena, was reportedly found with 1.9 grams of heroin in three bags, 1.3 grams of crack cocaine in eight bags, a burnt glass pipe with a braille pad inside of it and a plastic straw.
