Hornell Police allegedly discover drugs during bench warrant arrest - Hornell Evening Tribune

Five Hornell residents were arrested Friday for alleged possession of cocaine, marijuana, hypodermic instruments and pills, according to police.

Charged with felony fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and also with criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument were Katherine E. Kinne, 22; Lauren E. Sick, 32; Brian P. Shinebarger, 30; Jacob R. Fronk, 21; and Mary E. Kinne, 56, all of 57 Fulton St.

Sick and Shinebarger were also charged with resisting arrest.

Police arrested Kinne and Sick on a bench warrant charging them with failure to appear. The two told police there were drugs in the house, possibly trying to avoid arrest, according to Investigator Todd Giglio. A small amount of drugs, valued at about $500, was found.

He said the five residents all tried to place blame on each other, resulting in their arrests.

All five are being held at Steuben County Jail in lieu of bail, according to Giglio. The investigation continues, police said.
