The incident occurred at approximately 11:50 p.m. last night as a trooper on routine patrol observed a white Oldsmobile traveling on I-95 southbound in the area of DE. Rt. 141 in Newport. The trooper observed that the front seat passenger was no wearing a seatbelt. After conducting a stop of the vehicle, the trooper came into contact with the operator, later identified as Jethroe Tickles of Wilmington, DE, and the passenger, later identified as Shareef Hargrove, of Newark, DE. While questioning the occupants of the vehicle, the trooper observed that both men were acting in a suspicious and nervous manner. The trooper asked for and obtained consent to search the vehicle. As defendant Tickles exited the vehicle, several pills fell to the ground from his pants leg. A further search of Tickles revealed $341.00 in suspected drug sale proceeds which was seized. Upon searching the vehicle, the trooper located a loaded .45 caliber handgun, 30.5 grams of marijuana, 9.5 grams of crack cocaine and a digital scale used to weigh drugs. The defendants were then taken into custody and charged with the above listed crimes.
