Felton man wanted on felony charges

The Delaware State Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a Felton man wanted for various felonious crimes that were committed in Kent County.

On Wednesday, members of the Delaware State Police Kent County Drug Unit, with the assistance of the Harrington Police Department, reportedly conducted an investigation after getting information saying that Robert Jones, 38, of Felton, had received a large quantity of heroin at his home.

During the investigation, troopers say they saw Jones leaving the home and driving away on US 13. A computer check apparently showed that he was driving on a suspended license, and troopers tried to conduct a traffic stop but instead a pursuit began. According to the report, Jones drove east onto Barney Jenkins Road and entered into the area of Meadowbrook Acres where the pursuit ended.

A search of two homes on Skinner Lane reportedly led to a large heroin supply belonging to Jones, and during the search, over 4,400 baggies of heroin were seized which contained nearly 33 logs weighing approximately 63.18 grams.

Robert Jones is currently wanted for drug dealing, heroin possession in a tier 5 quantity, tampering with evidence, conspiracy 2nd degree, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, disregarding a police officers signal, driving while suspended/revoked, failure to stop on command and multiple traffic charges.

Robert D. Jones is described as male, about 5’06” tall, weighing 200 lbs., with black hair, and brown eyes.

If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of Jones, they are asked to contact Sergeant Skinner at 302-698-8452 or Troop 3 at 302-697-4454. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, via the internet,  or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 using the keyword “DSP.”
