Loitering investigation leads to drug charges for Seaford man

SEAFORD, Del. – A loitering investigation early Thursday morning led to the arrest of a Seaford man on drug charges.

At around 5 a.m., an officer on patrol made contact with a man found to be asleep in a vehicle on the property of Chandler Heights. The officer warned the man that he was in violation of Chandler Heights’ no loitering policy and either needed to go into an apartment or leave the property.

Approximately 40 minutes later, the officer returned and reportedly found the man still asleep in the vehicle. A subsequent K-9 scan alerted police to the presence of illegal controlled substances, and a search of the car led to the discovery of 46 packets of suspected heroin, .2 grams of crack cocaine, and more than $500 in suspected drug dealing money.

The man, identified as 22-year-old Johnathan Dugazon, was arrested and charged with possession to deliver heroin, possession of heroin, possession of crack cocaine, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, and loitering. He was held on a $6,001 secured bond.
