GEORGETOWN, DEL. – A load of pot and a pile of cash adds up to one thing. People in Delaware like to use drugs and pay an opportunist for their passion. Delaware State Police report that a Seaford man was in and out of jail in a single day but had to leave his stash and cash behind as evidence for his pending criminal trial.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, April 3, 2018, at approximately 10:25 a.m. when a Trooper observed a red Ford Taurus traveling eastbound on Hardscrabble Road, above the posted speed limit. As the Trooper activated his emergency equipment, the operator, identified as 20-year-old Cory R. Mister of Seaford continued traveling eastbound. Mister lost control of his vehicle, crashed into a ditch and attempted to flee the scene on foot. A brief foot pursuit ensued and subsequently Mister was taken into custody. Further investigation revealed that Mister was in possession of over $17,000 in suspected drug proceeds and 407.65 grams of marijuana.
Mister was transported back to Troop 4 where he was charged with Possession of Marijuana, Resisting Arrest, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Tampering With Physical Evidence, Reckless Driving, and other multiple traffic-related offenses. He was arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on $9,110.00 unsecured bond.
