Subjects Observed Injecting Suspected Heroin in Broad Daylight

Released- Monday, March 24, 2008

Canby Park- On Saturday, March 22, 2008, at 12:45 p.m., a Troop 6 patrol officer was on routine patrol in the Canby Park Shopping Center when he observed a suspicious vehicle parked in the center of the lot. The vehicle, a 1999 Plymouth Breeze was occupied by three subjects. 

The officer approached the vehicle and noticed that the front right seat passenger, later identified as Vsevolod Husar (22 years old of Gates Circle in Hockessin), was sleeping with his head resting on the passenger side window. This subject had a hypodermic syringe hanging from his neck and suspected heroin packaging material in his lap.  As the Trooper got closer, the operator of the vehicle, later identified as Lianna Pennington (23 years old of Old Capitol Trail in Wilmington), appeared to be rapping a cord around her upper left arm.  She was then observed actively shooting an unknown substance into her arm.  She too had suspected heroin packaging material on her lap. The third subject Shaun Mili (24 years old of Forrest Avenue) was sitting in the center of the rear seat. 

All three occupants were taken into custody without incident. A search of the vehicle and its occupants was conducted resulting in the finding of the following: 16 blue glassine bags containing suspected heroin- individually packaged in clear plastic bags and stamped with the logos "STRAY MONEY" and "NEXTEL," 10 empty blue glassine bags, 8 hypodermic syringes, associated paraphernalia (spoons, lighters, cups of water, and tourniquet), 2.5 grams green leafy substance (which later tested positive for marijuana), and $364.00.

Vsevolod Husar and Lianna Pennington were charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (misdemeanor), Possession of a Hypodermic Needle (misdemeanor), Conspiracy 2nd (felony), Maintaining a Vehicle for Keeping a Controlled Substance (felony) and Possession with the Intent to Deliver Narcotics (felony).  Husar was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institute in lieu of $8,500.00 secured bail.  Pennington was committed to the Baylor Woman’s Correctional Institute in lieu of $8,500.00 secured bail.  Shaun Mili was charged with Possession of Marijuana and committed to Howard Young Correctional Institute in lieu of $6,100.00 secured bail.
