House search turns up 3,000 bags of heroin in Delaware

NEWARK, Del. (AP) - A search of a Delaware residence yielded more than 3,000 bags of heroin and three arrests.

Delaware State Police said in a release that Delaware State Police Governor’s Task Force responded to a Newark house on Wednesday to assist Probation and Parole officers with an administrative search. That search turned up 3,127 bags of heroin, which amounted to nearly 22 grams, and $4,451 in suspected drug money.

The house’s residents, 24-year-old Taron Hair and 22-year-old Selena Lugo, along with 24-year-old Karon Phillips, were arrested and charged with heroin possession, intent to deliver heroin and conspiracy. It’s unclear whether they have lawyers.
