GEORGETOWN, DE — A 22-year-old Seaford man was arrested Sunday afternoon after a traffic stop near Georgetown uncovered drugs, paraphernalia, and suspected drug proceeds, Delaware State Police said.

At approximately 12:32 p.m. on December 1, a trooper on patrol observed a Dodge Dart passing another vehicle on the right on Seashore Highway near Wilson Hill Road. The vehicle was pulled over, and the driver, identified as Enrique Azuara, was found to have a suspended driver’s license and outstanding capias warrants for his arrest.

During a search of the vehicle, troopers discovered 3.06 grams of cocaine, 4.50 grams of methamphetamines, half of an Oxycodone pill, a broken scale allegedly damaged by Azuara during the stop, plastic containers, and $1,976 in suspected drug proceeds.

Azuara was taken into custody without incident and transported to Troop 5, where he was charged with multiple felony drug offenses. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $5,802 secured bond.
