Greenwood Man Arrested After Traffic Stop Yields Methadone Pills
Released Saturday, April 11, 2009
Bridgeville – The Delaware State Police have arrested a 40 year old Greenwood man for drug offenses after he was stopped for speeding and found to be in possession of 20 methadone pills.
Yesterday, at approximately 12:25 pm, a patrol trooper from Troop 5 in Bridgeville was conducting speed enforcement on Coverdale Road south of Jones Dogwood Drive when he encountered a 1991 GMC Sonoma pick-up traveling 55 mph in a marked 40 mph. zone. A traffic stop was conducted and Bruce A. Williams was identified as the operator.
During the traffic stop, the trooper observed a clear plastic baggie in the center console of the truck that contained several white pills. An ensuing investigation revealed the pills were methadone and that Williams did not have a prescription and did not possess a proper container for the 20 pills. In addition, Williams was in possession of a large sum of money that he could not account for.
As a result of the investigation, Williams was arrested for Possession with Intent to Deliver Methadone, Maintaining a Vehicle for Keeping Controlled Substances and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was released on an $11,700 unsecured bail.
