Resume:
Newark-The Delaware State Police Governor’s Task Force (GTF) has arrested a 21 year old male and 22 year old female on drug and weapons charges after discovering a cache of heroin and a stolen handgun in a hotel room at the Days Inn, Newark.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at approximately 1:20 a.m. as members of the Delaware State Police Governor’s Task Force were conducting an investigation into the continued sale of heroin in the Newark, DE area.

While conducting the investigation, information gathered lead Task Force members to room #253 where members contacted Amber L. Hoopes-22 who answered the door and was occupying the room. After Hoopes opened the door, Task Force members smelled a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from within the room, and also observed Khaliq D. Scott-21 inside. Task Force members observed drug paraphernalia consisting of items utilized to package heroin for sale, and also located burnt marijuana cigarettes in an ashtray.

A subsequent search warrant was obtained and executed for the hotel room leading to the discovery of 1,118 bags of heroin totaling 27.95 grams (Total street value of heroin seized in approximately $11,000.00) and a .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun along with a magazine containing 2 rounds of .40 caliber ammunition, which was not loaded in the weapon. The handgun was reported stolen in Elsmere, DE in January 2013. Scott was in possession of $623.oo cash proceeds indicative of being obtained through street level drug transactions.

Scott and Hoopes were taken into custody without incident and charged with the above crimes. Both were arraigned and committed on $65,000 Secured Bond to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution and Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution respectively. Troopers continue to investigate this case.

She looks like she could be a beautiful girl. WTH does she see in that thug? I am sure she could have found a decent white guy.

Yes that would be so much better if she was arrested with a white drug dealer.

It is a shame that both of these got hooked up in this mess. They could have done so much more with their lives.

YES, it would! You and your ilk living in your fantasy worlds are helping to ruin this country. We are all God's children, and we should love one another, and all that. That's fine and dandy. It doesn't mean you should cross breed or intertwine cultures. In most instances, you are just casting your pearls before swine. Having sex with members of a different race will not stop racism. You are not setting any kind of a positive example. You have not overcome a damn thing. You merely had sex and fulfilled a lustful want, not a need nor crossed any racial bridge to help humanity.

Stop fronting.

I said it, and anyone else with a little sense. You can get people to have sex on a street corner to obtain drugs, much less a hotel room. Get real.

There is a shocking lack of self respect in the young female population in this area. It is a pity.
