A dog with Wilmington Police Department K-9 unit assisted in the arrest of a man on drug charges, early Thursday morning.
Brandon Montrell Wilson, 24, from Wilmington was arrested around 2a.m. during a routine traffic stop for speeding in the 1400 block of Princess Street, after the officer found 27 bags of heroin, a small amount of marijuana, and over $800 in cash.
According to the WPD, after the officer had asked Wilson to get out of his car and, while being handcuffed, the suspect made an attempt to run from the officer. The officer released the dog, who tackled the man in brush near his car.
Wilson has been charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell, and deliver heroin; possession of marijuana; and resist, delay, and obstruct public officers. His bond has been set at $20,000.
