State Police Arrest Four People on Drug Dealing and Gun Charges

The Delaware State Police have arrested 23-year-old John Wyatte of Dover, Delaware and three other people after concluding a drug investigation yesterday in Dover.

On February 8, 2023, at approximately 2:26 p.m., Wyatte was observed participating in a drug transaction in the Dover area. Wyatte then entered the back of a silver 2022 Toyota RAV4 and traveled to the Redner’s Market located at 2500 South Dupont Highway in Camden. Troopers conducted a traffic stop on the Toyota in the parking lot, but the driver, identified as 28-year-old Ronald Maddray, fled from the car on foot. Troopers gave chase and detained Maddray a short time later without incident. Troopers also took Wyatte into custody, along with two other passengers, identified as 21-year-old Briana Winder and 28-year-old Marvin Farlow.
