WILMINGTON, DE — A 32-year-old Wilmington man has been arrested after police allegedly discovered a loaded firearm and significant quantities of crack cocaine during a traffic stop and subsequent search, authorities said.
According to Wilmington Police, members of the Safe Streets Task Force conducted a vehicle stop around 6:50 p.m. on October 29 in the 200 block of North DuPont Street. Officers made contact with the driver, identified as Jhavon Goode, and following a brief investigation, took him into custody without incident.

Goode was charged with possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person prohibited (two counts), possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver in a Tier 3 quantity, in addition to traffic offenses.
He was arraigned in the New Castle County Court of Common Pleas and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on $110,000 cash-only bail.
