Pursuit Leads to Discovery of Drugs-Ellendale


Date Posted: Tuesday, April 7th, 2020

Ellendale- The Delaware State Police have arrested 20-year-old Jordan E. Dixon of Felton, DE and 20-year-old Parris J. Dixon of Woodstock, VA after a vehicle pursuit led to the discovery of drugs.

The incident occurred on April 6, 2020 at approximately 3:29 a.m., when a Trooper observed a white Ford Crown Victoria traveling southbound on Rt 113 in the area of Fleatown Road, Ellendale, at a high rate of speed.  A traffic stop was initiated when the operator initially pulled over and stopped.  Prior to making contact with the driver, the Trooper discovered that the registration came back to a Ford Fusion and not a Ford Crown Victoria.  As the Trooper exited their patrol vehicle and began to approach the Crown Victoria, the operator proceeded to accelerate and take off, driving in a reckless manner.

The vehicle was then observed entering a private driveway off of Fleatown Road.  A traffic stop was initiated and contact was made with the driver, identified as Jordan Dixon and passenger Parris Dixon.  A computer inquiry revealed that Jordan did not have a valid license.  Further investigation led to the discovery of Jordan being in possession of approximately 27.90 grams of marijuana, approximately 5.64 grams of crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia.  Parris was found in possession of approximately 5.30 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Both Jordon and Parris were taken into custody without further incident and transported back to Troop 7 where they were charged with the following:

  • Possession With Intent To Deliver a Controlled Substance
  • Disregarding a Police Officer Signal
  • Conspiracy Second Degree
  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
  • Reckless Driving
  • Driving Without a Valid License
