Delaware State Police arrested 31-year-old Jasmine Thomas of Bridgeville, Delaware, for felony drug charges following a traffic stop in Seaford yesterday afternoon.
On June 6, 2024, at approximately 1:00 p.m., members of the Sussex County Governor’s Task Force, along with Delaware Probation and Parole officers, were patrolling the area of Concord Road in Seaford when they observed a white Oldsmobile Silhouette traveling westbound on Concord Road. A computer inquiry of the Oldsmobile’s Delaware registration revealed the tag was suspended due to no insurance. Troopers conducted a traffic stop on the Oldsmobile and made contact with the vehicle’s four occupants, one of whom was identified as Jasmine Thomas. A consensual search of the Oldsmobile was conducted after the driver was informed the uninsured and suspended vehicle would be towed. The search led to the discovery of empty bags of suspected heroin, which led to a probable cause search of Thomas’ bookbag. A search of the bookbag revealed:
- Approximately 4.26 grams of crack cocaine
- Approximately 4.28 grams of cocaine
- 85 bags containing approximately 0.595 grams of heroin
- $2,966 in suspected drug dealing proceeds
Thomas was taken into custody without incident and transported to Troop 5, where she was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and released on her own recognizance.
- Possession with Intent to Deliver a Counterfeit or Controlled Substance (Felony) – 3 counts
- Possess of a Controlled or Counterfeit Substance without a Prescription – 3 counts
