Two Arrested, Illicit Drugs Recovered Following Dual-Agency Investigation
DOVER, Del. – Two men have been arrested following a drug investigation conducted in tandem between the Dover Police Department (DPD) and Delaware State Police (DSP).
DSP Troopers arrested 36-year-old George Brinkley of Dover on three counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, second degree conspiracy, and related drug charges. He was also charged by DPD with one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession with intent to deliver. Brinkley was released after posting a $23,000 secured bond.
Authorities also arrested 32-year-old Amir Elmore, also of Dover, on the same charges, but he has been committed to the Department of Correction on $138,000 secured bond.
On Jul. 16, at approximately 1:44 p.m., various agencies conducted a joint traffic stop in the 500 Block of Bay Road. The traffic stop was the result of an ongoing narcotics investigation during which arrest warrants had been obtained for Elmore. During the stop, officers took Elmore and Brinkley into custody. A search of the two men resulted in the seizure of approximately 12.6 grams of cocaine.
Investigators subsequently executed a search warrant at Brinkley’s residence in the 100 block of President Drive with assistance from DSP Kent County Special Investigations Unit. During the search, investigators recovered:
- 1,558.47 grams of powder cocaine
- 115.88 grams of crack cocaine
- 32.1 grams of heroin/fentanyl
- $2,281 in suspected drug proceeds
Dover Police Chief Thomas Johnson praised the collaborative efforts of all agencies involved, noting that partnerships between local, county, and state law enforcement continue to play a critical role in disrupting the distribution of dangerous illegal narcotics.
