A woman who was stopped for running a stop sign on Ocoee Street gave a driver's license that turned out to be her sister's.
Police wound up charging both sisters and taking them to the County Jail.
The woman who was driving the car gave the license of Sylvia Porter. Police did a check and found there was an active warrant against her.
At that point, the driver said Syliva Porter is actually her sister.
She identified herself as Berlinda Jones. She said there was no insurance on the vehicle she was driving.
Police went to Wheeler Avenue, where they found Ms. Porter. She was taken into custody on the warrant.
Back on Ocoee Street, officers found a glass crack pipe and a metal push rod in Ms. Jones' purse.
Numerous charges were filed against Ms. Jones, including running a stop sign, driving without a license and without insurance, criminal impersonation and possession of drug paraphernalia.
After a search at the County Jail, they added one more - possession of contraband in a penal institute. They found crack cocaine in her underwear.
