The Dover Police Department and Delaware Probation and Parole arrested two men on drug charges on Wednesday afternoon.  At approximately 3:33PM, officers stopped Chrys Atanga (21) and Charles Ndikum (25) for a motor vehicle violation.  Officers immediately smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and both men were detained without incident.  Delaware Probation and Parole officers then executed an administrative search on a residence in the 300 Block of N.
