The Delaware State Police have arrested 29-year-old Colby Camper of Harrington, Delaware on gun and drug charges following a traffic stop that occurred late last night in Seaford.
On February 10, 2023, at approximately 11:40 p.m., a trooper on patrol observed a white Honda Civic traveling southbound on Coverdale Road south of Mill Park Drive at a very high rate of speed.

- Possession of a Firearm While Possessing a Controlled Substance (Felony)
- Carrying a Concealed Firearm (Felony)
