Millsboro- A 48 year old man has been arrested on drug charges following a vehicle stop in Millsboro yesterday evening.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:05 p.m. yesterday as a Delaware State Trooper on routine patrol on Oak Orchard Road in Millsboro observed a Ford Taurus with a partially covered registration plate traveling in front of him. The trooper pulled alongside the Taurus and observed that Kevin. D. Handy, 48, was the operator of the vehicle. The trooper recognized Handy as being a subject he had dealt with on prior occasions and knew that he was not in possession of a valid driver’s license. The trooper conducted a traffic stop of the Taurus and made contact with Handy. Upon speaking with Handy, the trooper observed that he was acting in a nervous manner. As Handy began to search for the paperwork for his vehicle, the trooper observed a plastic baggie with the end tied in the center console of the car and realized that this is a common way for drugs to be packaged for sale. Kevin Handy was asked to exit the vehicle at which time a second plastic baggie containing 3.1 grams of cocaine was located in his pants pocket. The trooper also found a plastic straw used to snort cocaine in his pocket as well as a box of plastic bags used to package cocaine in the car. The plastic baggie which had been spotted in the center console of the car also contained cocaine residue.
Kevin Handy was arrested for the above list of crimes. He was then arraigned at JP Court 3 and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution for lack of $22,000.00 secured bail.

REAL CRIMINAL HERE ..But do we see a drug offender registry ???? NO why cause I feel that the real people behind the drugs are those in power?? J.M.H.O. If I am wrong how about Mike M. putting in a bill for a DRUG REGISTRY so we know who these drug dealers that are destroying america as we know it are watched and have to report and take drug tests and report where they live and work to support many of they're life styles.

Kevin has been nothing but trouble over 25 years! Alcohol, drugs, violence. He needs to go to jail for good. After so many years, he just refuses to change. Keep him in jail!
