Delaware State Police have taken a 42-year-old Dover resident into custody on multiple felony drug charges following the discovery of methamphetamine at his campsite.
Christopher Naylor was apprehended on March 2, 2026, around 2:20 p.m. when members of the Kent County Governor’s Task Force went to the 800 block of Artis Drive in Dover.

When law enforcement arrived at the location, they observed Naylor coming out of a tent situated in the backyard of the property. Authorities took him into custody peacefully. During the arrest process, officers noticed illegal drugs and related equipment visible inside the tent.
A subsequent search of the tent revealed several incriminating items:
• About 10.13 grams of methamphetamine
• A digital scale
• Various drug paraphernalia
Following his arrest, Naylor was transported to Troop 3 headquarters where he faced formal charges. He appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 11 for arraignment and was subsequently sent to Sussex Correctional Institution. His bond was set at $15,001 secured.
The charges filed against Naylor include:
• Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, Tier 2 (Felony)
