Newark- The Delaware State Police have arrested a Newark pair following a month long investigation into illegal drug sales.

 

On Thursday, August 18, 2011 at approximately 6:00 a.m., detectives from the Delaware State Police New Castle County Drug Unit with the assistance of the Delaware State Police Special Operation Response Team (SORT) executed a search warrant at an apartment located in the unit block of Capano Drive in Newark.

As they did so, they saw the door to the bathroom located inside of the of the room close. SORT members then entered the bathroom where they observed Irene Hollis attempting to flush packets of suspected heroin down the toilet.
