WILMINGTON, DE — A Wilmington woman is facing multiple charges following a traffic stop that led to the alleged discovery of a firearm and controlled substances, according to local law enforcement.
On the evening of November 26, at approximately 7:05 p.m., officers from the Wilmington Police Department’s Uniformed Services Division observed a traffic violation in the 900 block of West 8th Street. Police conducted a vehicle stop and made contact with the driver, identified as 31-year-old Tysheeka Johnson.
A subsequent investigation reportedly resulted in Johnson’s arrest. Authorities stated that a loaded 9mm handgun and approximately 0.5 grams of crack cocaine were recovered during the incident. Johnson was taken into custody without incident.
She now faces multiple charges, including:
- Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony
- Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited
- Carrying a Concealed Deadly Weapon
- Possession of a Controlled Substance in Tier 1 Quantity
Johnson was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 11 and has been released on $29,100 unsecured bail.
Authorities emphasize that a criminal complaint or arrest is not an indication of guilt, as all defendants are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law. Further updates may be provided as new details emerge.
