Seaford: Suspicious Vehicle Leads to Drug and Weapons Charges

Seaford, DE- Delaware State Police have arrested three people after the investigation into a suspicious vehicle resulted in the discovery of drugs and a handgun last night in Seaford.

The investigation began on Saturday, May 21, 2016 at approximately 9:05 p.m. after two troopers on routine patrol observed a black Chevrolet Impala enter and stop in the parking lot of the Middleford Speedway, located at 22378 Coverdale Road, Seaford. The operator of the vehicle, later identified as Erica N. Davis, 23, of Millsboro, then turned the vehicle’s headlights off. The troopers, knowing that the speedway was closed, approached the Impala and activated the emergency lights on their patrol vehicles. They then approached the car and noticed that the front seat passenger, later identified as Spencer Wright, 24, of Bridgeville, and the rear seat passenger, later identified as Jeremy A. Cannon, 30, of Bridgeville, were both reaching down under their seats. It was at this time that one of the troopers observed what appeared to be a bundle of suspected heroin in plain view on the lap of Jeremy Cannon. He was then removed from the vehicle and placed into custody. A search of Cannon was then conducted at which time a loaded .22 caliber handgun was located in his jacket pocket.

The troopers then came into contact with Spencer Wright who advised them that he was in possession of marijuana and crack cocaine. Wright was then removed from the car and placed into custody. A subsequent search of him revealed a small amount of marijuana and crack cocaine.

Erica Davis was also removed from the vehicle. A subsequent search of the car revealed an additional amount of heroin under the front seat. A total of 84 bags of heroin, .4 grams of cocaine, .3 grams of crack cocaine, and .48 grams of marijuana was recovered by the troopers.

Jeremy Cannon, Spencer Wright, and Erica Davis were all arrested and transported to Troop 5, Bridgeville. Cannon was charged by troopers with Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Possession of Ammunition by a Person Prohibited, Possession of a Controlled Substance in a Tier 1 Quantity, Possession with the Intent to Deliver a Counterfeit Controlled Substance, Conspiracy 2nd degree, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and two counts of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was arraigned at JP Court 3 and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $31,500.00 secured bail.

With the current gun laws how is it possible to have a gun with a record? Oh wait, criminals don't have to go through background, gun range, finger prints, waiting list and 400 in red tape.

7:47 You are correct. This would not have happened in Maryland with It's gun laws and all. These criminals would have gotten to the State Line in Delmar and turned around. Keep voting for Democrats people as you wish to give up your right and freedom to protect yourself and family. I suggest that all Democrats turn in their guns to the MSP. We intelligent people will keep ours.

it's called stingray, educate yourselves!
Once your phone is connected, the operator of the device can triangulate your position, see the incoming and outgoing numbers, and by all indications intercept the actual content of your communications. Police often deploy StingRays without probable-cause warrants or, in some cases, court orders. Even when police seek warrants and orders, the federal government has coached them to mislead judges about precisely what they are being asked to authorize.

StingRay deployments have been confirmed in at least 24 states and the District of Columbia, and there is every reason to believe many of the remaining states possess them and simply haven't been forced to disclose it. Different departments have different deployment policies, but cities such as Baltimore have admitted to deploying the devices in thousands of investigations.

For instance, an illegal search of a target's trash could reveal the time and location of a future drug deal. A police officer could then follow the target on the night of the meeting and use any number of pretextual traffic violations to justify a stop and dog sniff of the car. When the drugs are discovered and the case goes to court, the government behaves as if it were the random traffic stop, and not the illegal search, that led to the arrest.

12:01 maybe so, but do you realize there is a reason no one in law enforcement wants to admit any of this? I know, if you aren't doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about! except for the fact that everything you do is being watched listened to and tracked for some future event the government wants to use you for their patsy!
