Brescani said she had lost her cell phone and was looking for it, the detective captain said.

After exiting the vehicle, Bresciani, 29, allegedly tried to hide a fully-loaded syringe with “brown liquid” in it and 23 glassine bags suspected heroin, four plastic bags of suspected cocaine, and eight white pills, Martin said. Thirteen of the bags were stamped “The Godfather” and 10 were stamped “Wall Street,” police said.
