Suspicious activity complaint leads to gun, drug charges for Dagsboro man

DAGSBORO, Del. – A Dagsboro man is behind bars on a list of charges following a suspicious activity complaint Monday afternoon.

At around 4:15 p.m., troopers responded to the area of Woodland Ferry Road and Gum Branch Road for reports of a man running down the road with a firearm. Another 911 caller, who was able to provide a physical description of the man, observed the man drop the firearm and run into the woods.

When troopers patrolled the area, they found a male suspect matching the physical description that the 911 caller provided, identified as 30-year-old Deandre Hall. Troopers were able to take Hall into custody without incident, and a search incident to an arrest revealed that Hall was in possession of approximately .203 grams of suspected heroin and other drug paraphernalia. Police were also able to recover the firearm, determined to be a rifle, along with ammunition.

Hall was taken to DSP Troop 5, where police say he caused damage to the facility. As a result of the incident, he was charged with two counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person prohibited, possession of a firearm while under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, criminal mischief under $1000, two counts of third degree criminal trespass, and public intoxication.

Hall was held at SCI on an $11,753 secured bond.
