Lewes Man Faces Drug, Boating Charges

Fish and Wildlife agents arrested a 46-year-old Lewes man July 4 in connection with drug and boating charges.
William Husbands was charged with one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia, inhaling intoxicating fumes, operating a vessel at night without navigation lights and insufficient life jackets, said Sgt. Gregory Rhodes of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement. He was released pending a court appearance at a future date.
Rhodes also said five crabbers were cited July 13 after a week-long investigation of illegal tending of noncommercial crab pots. They were charged with one count each of tending more than the recreational limit of crab pots and one count each of tampering with recreational crab pots. Another crabber, Rhodes said, was cited July 8 for one count each of tampering with crab pots, tending more than the limit of recreational crab pots and operating a vessel on Assawoman Bay without a boating safety certificate.
During the week of July 6-13, Rhodes said agents issued a total of 13 violations of blue crab size limits, 11 violations of life-jacket requirements (eight involving children), plus violations related to recreational fishing licenses, vessel speed, ramp and boating safety certificates, summer flounder size regulations and use of a noncompliant vessel.
