The Delaware State Police have arrested 48-year-old Kevin Walker of Dover, Delaware on drug dealing and firearm charges following a traffic stop that occurred yesterday evening in Camden.
On February 22, 2023, at approximately 6:20 p.m., a trooper on patrol observed a black 2020 Chevrolet Camaro traveling southbound on South Dupont Highway south of Dover. The trooper recognized the driver as Kevin Walker, and a computer check showed that Walker had a suspended driver’s license. Troopers stopped Walker on East Street south of East Camden Wyoming Avenue and asked him to exit the car. A drug-certified canine then conducted a free-air sniff of the Camaro’s exterior, and the dog alerted to the presence of an odor of narcotics.
