Delaware State Police have arrested 27-year-old Sarah Campbell of Dover, Delaware and 29-year-old Davonta Brown of Woodside, Delaware for drug and weapon offenses following a vehicle pursuit that occurred early Thursday morning.

On September 22, 2022, at approximately 1:26 a.m., a trooper on patrol in the Milton area observed a silver 2021 Nissan Altima traveling at a high rate of speed on southbound Coastal Highway north of Cave Neck Road. The trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the operator disregarded the trooper’s emergency equipment and accelerated away on southbound Coastal Highway. Another trooper in the Lewes area was able to successfully deploy a tire deflation device to disable the Altima. The vehicle came to a stop in the area of the Crab House restaurant in Rehoboth Beach, and its two occupants, identified as operator Sarah Campbell and passenger Davonta Brown, were taken into custody without further incident.

A search of the vehicle at the scene led to the discovery of approximately 140.15 grams of marijuana, approximately 0.56 grams of suspected heroin, a prescription pill, various items of drug paraphernalia, and a .22 LR handgun with an obliterated serial number. Computer checks of Brown revealed that he was a convicted felon prohibited from possessing a firearm.
