The Dover Police Department Street Crimes Unit and Probation and Parole arrested a man with a loaded handgun and heroin during a traffic stop on Monday morning. At approximately 10:05 AM, officers observed Dahppy Brewah (20), operating a vehicle in the area of Whiteoak Road and Frear Drive. A computer check revealed that Brewah had a revoked license and officers stopped him. During the traffic stop, officers noticed a smell of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle. During a vehicle search, officers located a loaded .40 caliber handgun and 20 bags of heroin (weighing .3 grams). Based on the findings of the vehicle search, Probation and Parole (assisted by DPD), searched a residence in the 800 block of Carvel Drive, where Brewah resides. That search yielded a box of .32 caliber ammunition. Brewah is prohibited from possessing a firearm and ammunition based on his previous criminal convictions.
