Three arrested in Wicomico Co. following seizure of drugs, firearms

DELMAR, Md. – Investigators say a drug and firearms investigation led to three arrests late last week.

We’re told officers executed a search and seizure warrant at a residence on West Pine Street in Delmar on Friday. The target of the investigation, 23-year-old Shyheim Mitchell, reportedly threw a loaded AK-47 style firearm out a back window of the residence while the search warrant was being executed. Officers also found an additional firearm, a loaded rifle, inside the residence, as well as a 50 round drum style magazine loaded with 9mm rounds.

A total of 264.19 grams of marijuana, 23.38 grams of cocaine (including 9.47 grams of crack cocaine), 15.5 ecstasy/MDMA pills, and $10,482 in cash was seized from the residence.

Mitchell, along with 19-year-old Syncere Pinkett and 24-year-old Jasmine Banks, were all arrested as a result of the investigation. Mitchell and Pinkett were each charged with multiple drug and firearm offenses and are currently being held without bond. Banks was charged with two drug-related charges and was held on a $15,000 bond.
