WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Police Department arrested two individuals after a “suspicious person” call on Monday, including a convicted felon.
WPD received an anonymous 911 call that provided sufficient information for officers to act. Shortly after 11 p.m., they identified the vehicle and occupants associated with the call around the 200 block of N. 9th Street.
The police found drugs and a handgun in the vehicle; the firearm was in possession of 41-year old Damien Shareef Allen of Wilmington, who was arrested for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana.
Tasheena Williams, a 28-year old woman from Wilmington, was the driver of the vehicle. She was arrested for failure to appear for an outstanding warrant.
