WILMINGTON, DE — Wilmington Police announced the arrest of a 24-year-old man who was taken into custody last week on an outstanding warrant and later found to be in possession of a loaded handgun.
Authorities reported that on September 4, at approximately 9:16 p.m., members of the Safe Streets Task Force conducted a vehicle stop in the 300 block of West 9th Street. During the stop, officers identified the driver as Adrian Pringle, who was already wanted in connection with an unrelated matter.
Pringle was arrested without incident. A subsequent search led to the recovery of a loaded 9mm handgun, police said.
In addition to the outstanding warrant, Pringle has been charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon. He was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 11 and later released on $5,000 unsecured bail.
As with all criminal matters, it is important to note that charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
