MILTON, DE -A Rehoboth Beach teen, 18-year-old Kyree Coxon was arrested Monday morning for weapon and drug charges following a traffic stop, according to the Delaware State Police.

A Delaware State Police trooper on patrol in the Milton area had observed a black Cadillac sedan traveling northbound on Coastal Highway south of Broadkill Road at a high rate of speed.

“The trooper conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and made contact with the operator and sole occupant, identified as Kyree Coxon,” a police report detailed. “Upon contacting Coxon, the trooper smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle’s interior. Coxon was subsequently taken into custody at the scene without incident.”

A search of the Cadillac led to the discovery of approximately 64.47 grams of marijuana, a FHN 9-millimeter handgun, and over $1,100 in suspected drug proceeds.
