Delaware State Police have arrested 21-year-old Colin Shockley of Viola, DE for weapon and drug charges following a traffic stop that occurred in the Camden area on Wednesday evening.

On June 15, 2022 at approximately 8:07 p.m., a trooper on patrol observed a black Dodge Charger traveling southbound on South Dupont Highway in the area of POW-MIA Parkway. The Charger was outfitted with dark front and rear window tinting, and a computer check showed that the vehicle did not have a tint waiver. A traffic stop was conducted on South Dupont Highway in the area of Caboose Road and contact was made with the operator, identified as Colin Shockley. A strong odor of marijuana was emitting from the vehicle’s interior, and the trooper noticed a rifle in plain view inside of the Charger. Shockley was subsequently taken into custody at the scene without incident. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of approximately 17.02 grams of marijuana, an American Tactical assault rifle, and a Sig Sauer handgun.

Shockley was transported to Troop 3 and charged with the following offenses:

• Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon (Felony)
• Possession of a Firearm While Possessing a Controlled Substance (Felony) – 2 counts
• Possession of Marijuana
• Failure to Have Insurance Identification in Possession
• Operating a Vehicle With Improper Window Tinting

Shockley was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court # 7 and released on his own recognizance.
