Dover- Delaware State Police have arrested a Dover man after he was found to be in possession of a loaded gun and drugs during a traffic stop on Friday.

The incident occurred at approximately 10:40 a.m. on Friday, April 21, 2017, as a trooper on routine patrol was conducting speed enforcement on southbound SR1 approximately .5 miles south of White Oak Road, Dover. It was at this time that the trooper observed that a white Nissan Pathfinder was traveling well above the posted speed limit and conducted a vehicle stop of the car. As the trooper made contact with the operator and sole occupant of the car, later identified as Dynzel L. Reed, 26, he detected the odor of marijuana coming from the interior of the car.

Beretta semi-automatic handgun, additional ammunition, and $3,281.00 is suspected drug sale proceeds.
