A Felton man was arrested on drug charges after police say a shoplifting complaint led to the discovery of heroin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Delaware State Police Department, the incident occurred around 1 p.m., Sunday when troopers were called to a shoplifting complaint at the Walmart on Jerome Drive in Dover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When police arrived they located 37-year-old Jerry Eaton, of Felton, exiting the store and took him into custody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in custody, police say Eaton provided troopers with false identification in order to avoid the discovery of an active capias out of Kent County Superior Court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troopers also observed that Eaton\u2019s vehicle, which parked in the fire lane, had a fictitious registration plate displayed. A search of his car reportedly led to the discovery of approximately 4.4 grams of heroin and drug paraphernalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eaton was arrested and charged with Possession With Intent to Distribute of a Controlled Substance Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Possession of Controlled Substance Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Shoplifting Under $1500, Criminal Impersonation, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
