Two arrested in Milford following traffic stop

MILFORD, Del. – Two people were arrested early Sunday morning following a traffic stop for speeding.

An officer on patrol stopped a vehicle at around 2:30 a.m., in the area of SE Front Street and Marshall Street, after it was seen driving at a high rate of speed. The officer reportedly noticed signs of impairment in the driver, identified as 23-year-old Sergio Gomez-Gonzalez. Gomez-Gonzalez allegedly refused to complete the standard sobriety field tests and resisted arrest, but was taken into custody. The passenger, identified as 22-year-old Brayan Ramirez-Ramirez, reportedly began interfering with officers’ attempts to arrest Gomez-Gonzalez. Officers subsequently tried to arrest Ramirez-Ramirez, but he resisted arrest and ultimately caused minor injury to two officers before being taken into custody.

A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of 5.6 grams of crack cocaine and other drug paraphernalia.

Gomez-Gonzalez was charged with possession of a controlled substance in a tier 1 quantity, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia, DUI, and other traffic related charges. He was held on an intoxication hold, but was later released on his own recognizance once he was sober.

Ramirez-Ramirez was charged with two counts of offensive touching of a law enforcement officer and one count of resisting arrest. He also had two capiases for his arrest and was held on a $3,000 cash bail and $5,000 secured bail on his capiases. He was given a $3,000 unsecured bail on the charges stemming from this incident.
