SEAFORD, Del. — Guns, drugs, and a pair of arrests in Seaford. Delaware State Police have arrested 36-year-old Katie Dilworth and 37-year-old King Gray on felony gun and drug charges following a month-long investigation into illegal narcotics distribution.
On Nov. 27, detectives from the Sussex County Governor’s Task Force and the Sussex County Drug Unit executed a search warrant at a home on the 9000 block of Brickyard Road in Seaford.
Before officers could enter the home Dilworth took off, driving away in a Ford Explorer. Detectives, aware that her driver’s license was revoked, pulled Dilworth over, took her into custody, and searched the car where they say they found an alprazolam pill in the center console.
At the same time, detectives at the home on Brickyard Road watched Gray walking away with a child. After stopping Gray, police say they found more than 2 grams of crack cocaine and a loaded 9mm handgun on him. The gun had an obliterated serial number, and it was determined to be stolen.
A search of the residence, where another child was present, yielded the following:
- Approximately 1.59 grams of crack cocaine
- Approximately 41.9 grams of marijuana
- A digital scale and drug paraphernalia
Dilworth and Gray were taken into custody and transported to Troop 4 for processing.
