New Castle, Delaware Jermaine Johnson, a 45-year-old New Castle resident, was taken into custody by the Delaware State Police on suspicion of criminal drug distribution. This arrest was a component of a multi-jurisdictional operation that was carried out in collaboration with Homeland Security Investigations in Delaware and the Salem County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey.
A search warrant was carried out by police on Tuesday at a residence on Constitution Boulevard in New Castle. Following an investigation into Johnson’s alleged drug distribution in Delaware and New Jersey, the warrant was issued. Johnson tried to escape during the search but was swiftly caught.
At the apartment, officers found 851 grams of cocaine, several rounds of ammunition, digital scales, marijuana, packaging tools, and $5,706 that they say was obtained through narcotics sales. After being brought to Troop 2, Johnson—a convicted criminal prohibited from possessing ammunition—was charged with a number of offenses, including narcotics possession and paraphernalia.
He was detained at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution after being arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2 and posting a $67,000 cash bond.
