What's up with all the contraband in crotches on the Treasure Coast?

STUART — There’s quite a bit of drugs apparently being squirreled away in private parts these days on the Treasure Coast.

First there was Dondre Cypress, 22, accused Jan. 23 of storing marijuana in his rear end in Sebastian.

Now, there’s Amanda Herneryd, 27, who Martin County Sheriff’s deputies say concealed a cornucopia of contraband in her crotch, according to arrest affidavits.

Herneryd was a passenger in a sport utility vehicle stopped after 2:20 a.m. on Jan. 26.

Investigators pulled over the SUV on Interstate 95 after noticing the tail lights weren’t illuminated on a trailer of ATVs it was hauling.

A drug sniffing dog detected narcotics, and Herneryd told deputies she had nothing illegal on her. She pulled money and a lighter from her brassiere, an undergarment that supports the breasts.

“As I was checking the inside of her legs I felt a hard object between her legs,” the affidavit states.

Herneryd said it was “nothing.”

“Herneryd then reached into her pants and began pushing something up inside her vagina,” the affidavit states.

This time she said she had a “piercing.”

Investigators ultimately found a hypodermic needle and glass pipe “hanging out” of Herneryd’s vagina.

It’s unclear whether she had a “piercing.”

They also turned up a prescription bottle “between the cheeks of her buttocks.” Suspected Xanax and crack cocaine were in the bottle.

Herneryd told deputies that the driver, Leonard Sclafani, 29, gave her the glass pipe and the prescription bottle. She said she was trying to hide them, which was why Sclafani didn’t immediately pull over.

Deputies tracked down the owner of the trailer, and he said no one had permission to use it.

Herneryd, of Palm City, and Sclafani, of Stuart, each were arrested on charges of possession of crack cocaine, possession of controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Sclafani was arrested on an additional grand theft auto charge.
