Drug Task Force Arrest Georgetown Man after Cocaine Investigation

Georgetown, DE – The Delaware State Police Sussex County Drug Task Force have arrested a Georgetown man after the culmination of a month long investigation into illegal drug sales from a residence on Sandy Drive in Millsboro.

On Tuesday August 4, 2015 around 3:15 p.m., the Sussex County Drug Task Force with the assistance of the Sussex County Governor's Task Force conducted a traffic stop on Tevon Norwood, 18 of Georgetown while he was operating his BMW in the Georgetown area. A search warrant was conducted on the vehicle which yielded 152 grams of cocaine, 4 grams of crack cocaine, as well as over $3,300.00 in suspected drug proceeds. A search warrant was conducted at his residence in the 24000 block of Kruger Drive where detectives located 11 rounds of .380 caliber ammunition, a digital scale, and an additional $6,900.00 in suspected drug proceeds. A search warrant was also conducted at a residence where Norwood was known to frequent and distribute illegal drugs located in the 27000 block of Sandy Drive, Riverwinds Mobile Home Park. A digital scale was located in the residence and the 23 year old female resident was issued a criminal summons for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and released.

Tevon Norwood was transported back to Troop 4 where he was charged with two counts of Possession with Intent to Deliver Cocaine, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Cocaine), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was arraigned at JP3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $125,250.00 cash bond.

Let me say this 9:36, yes, we do have a drug task force. Mind you, very little of what they do gets publicized. In many cases what they do is considered ongoing investigations because there are many important plea deals. They do incredible work and all of us from the outside can easily criticize them because of the unknown but I know a few of the people on the task force and know they do great work.

However, I will say that I personally do not feel as if there are enough drug stings, but that is just my personal opinion and I'm sure they have their reasons.

As for pointing a finger at Mike Lewis, again, it's easy to criticize from the outside, (including me) but you need to know the task force is comprised of several local law enforcement officers specially trained in that area. Hence one WCSO Officer being shot a couple years ago in another town.

ALL that being said, if you take away all of the crime you then take away most of the Officers. It's a business and one I truly do not believe they want to completely eradicate. Hmmmmm?

One of our deputies shot in another town. It be a shame if that happens now. Our county sheriff's now have collective bargaining. I'd hate to pay out for one of our deputies that gets hurt working in another county. Our deputies need not work any other areas now but ours.
