Delaware State Police have taken two Felton residents into custody on multiple felony drug charges after a probation compliance check led to the discovery of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Eric Cane, 47, and Amber Knolls, 43, were both arrested during the April 6th operation at a Jessica Lane residence in Felton. The incident began around 10:00 p.m. when the Kent County Governor’s Task Force responded to assist Probation & Parole officers with a routine administrative check at Cane’s home.
Before conducting the search, investigators observed Cane engaged in what appeared to be a drug transaction with an unidentified individual outside the residence. When law enforcement approached, officers witnessed Cane toss a bag containing narcotics underneath a vehicle parked in the driveway.
Both suspects were taken into custody without resistance. The subsequent search of the individuals and property yielded approximately 13.54 grams of methamphetamine along with various drug-related equipment.
Cane faces multiple charges including Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance, Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Possession of a Controlled Substance, Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Tampering with Physical Evidence (Felony), Conspiracy 2nd Degree (Felony), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was processed at Troop 3 and appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 2, where he received a $30,200 unsecured bond. However, he was sent to Sussex Correctional Institution due to probation violations.
Knolls was charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance, Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Possession of a Controlled Substance, Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Conspiracy 2nd Degree (Felony), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. After being processed at Troop 3, she appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 11 and was committed to Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on a $30,000 cash bond.
