Delaware State Police have taken two men into custody on felony drug charges following a narcotics investigation Monday evening at a Dover gas station.<\/p>

Officers arrested 33-year-old Randall Harris of Dover and 63-year-old Gerald Brown, 63, from Harrington on May 11, 2026, after observing what appeared to be a drug transaction around 10:00 p.m.<\/p>

Members of the Delaware State Police Special Investigations Unit were monitoring activity near a gas station located in the 1600 block of South Dupont Highway when they spotted Brown sitting in a Nissan Sentra parked at the location. Investigators watched as a rideshare vehicle dropped off Harris, who then climbed into the back seat of Brown’s car where the suspected drug deal occurred. Officers observed Harris walking into the convenience store afterward carrying what appeared to be a substantial amount of cash.<\/p>

When troopers approached both men, a search of the vehicle revealed roughly 130 bags of suspected heroin bound together with rubber bands. The cash Harris had been seen carrying could not be found, and the store had already closed for the evening. Police learned the rideshare service had picked up Harris from a home in the unit block of Edgewood Road in Dover.<\/p>

Both suspects were transported to Troop 3 and processed on multiple charges.<\/p>

Brown faces charges including Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Possession of a Controlled Substance Tier 2 Quantity (Felony), Conspiracy Second Degree (Felony), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was processed through Justice of the Peace Court 11 and released on a $14,100 unsecured bond.<\/p>

Harris was hit with identical charges and also appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 11. He was sent to the Sussex Correctional Institution on a $14,100 secured bond and an unrelated capias.<\/p>

The investigation continued the following day when officers returned to the gas station on May 12, 2026, and retraced Harris’ path through the store. During their search, investigators found the missing cash concealed inside a snack box.<\/p>

That same day, troopers obtained and executed a search warrant at the Edgewood Road residence linked to the case. The search turned up approximately 13 more bags of suspected heroin discovered close to two children’s bedrooms, along with a digital scale.<\/p>

While Harris remained in custody at the Sussex Correctional Institution, he was hit with additional charges including Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance (Felony), Tampering with Physical Evidence (Felony), two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 2 and remained behind bars with a $7,200 unsecured bond.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
