Two arrested, one wanted, after reported bad drug deal in Seaford

Two people have been arrested, and one more is wanted, after Police say a drug deal in Seaford went sour.

Seaford Police say on Saturday afternoon, around 3:10 PM, a 41-year-old Laurel woman contacted Police, saying that she had been assaulted and her purse stolen at a home on Woolford Street. Police say the victim told them that she had been trying to buy crack cocaine, when it happened. The suspects were reportedly armed during the incident.

Officers say while on scene at Woolford Street, the suspects refused to leave the house, so a perimeter was set up. Eventually, Police say 20-year-old Damajcza Butts, of Seaford, surrendered, and was taken into custody. There was still reportedly one more person inside the home, so at around 8:00 PM, Seaford Police Department’s Tactical Team made their way into the house, where they took 25-year-old Joseph Olson, of Stevensville, Maryland into custody.

Detectives say inside the home, they found a bb gun, and drug paraphernalia, along with several items belonging to victim.

The victim was taken to Nanticoke Hospital where she was reportedly treated for several lacerations, before being released. Police say the victim will not be charged.

Butts and Olson were taken to the Seaford Police Department, where they were charged with robbery, assault, conspiracy, and resisting arrest. They are now apparently both being held at the Sussex Correctional Institute on a $33,000 cash bond, each.

Police say they are still searching for a third suspect, 18-year-old Tequilla Robinson, on similar charges.

Seaford Police say they were assisted at the scene by Delaware State Police Troop 5, Laurel and Bridgeville Police, as well as the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department.
