Narrative:

The Dover Police Department arrested 27-year-old Kacey White on firearms and drug charges following a foot chase on Monday afternoon.  Officers were contacting White as a result of a firearms investigation.  Officers had received a tip that included an image of White in possession of a firearm.  With assistance from the Wilmington, DE Police Department, White was identified from the image and officers attempted to contact him in the 500 Block of River Road.  

While fleeing from police, a loaded 9mm handgun with a 30 round magazine fell out of White’s waistband.  White was taken into custody a short time later.  Delaware Probation and Parole then executed an administrative search of a residence on River Road where White was living.  That search yielded a second handgun that was reported stolen to the Delaware State Police Troop 3.  In addition to the firearms, White was also found to be in possession of 15 bags of heroin.

White was committed to SCI in default of $114,000 cash bond on the following offenses:
-Possession of Firearm by Person Prohibited (3x)
-Carry Concealed Deadly Weapon
-Receiving a Stolen Firearm
-Possession of a Firearm with Obliterated Serial Number
