Delaware State Police Governor’s Task Force arrested 36-year-old Brandon Tann of Wilmington, Delaware, for charges related to drug distribution and firearm possession following the execution of a search warrant at two residences Friday morning.

On February 9, 2024, at approximately 6 a.m., members of the Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team and New Castle County Governor’s Task Force responded to two residences on the 4000 block of New Castle Avenue in response to a several-month-long drug investigation. This investigation identified Brandon Tann as a key individual involved in drug distribution activities at the targeted residences. During the execution of the search warrant, detectives contacted Tann and discovered evidence linking him to illegal activities. This evidence included over $1000 in suspected drug proceeds, a loaded .25 caliber handgun, a 12-gauge shotgun equipped with a scope, ammunition, approximately 11.6 grams of suspected crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia. A computer check revealed Tann is a person prohibited from possessing firearms. Tann was taken into custody without incident. He was then transported to Troop 2, where he was charged with the offenses listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $82,010 cash bond.
