An investigation by Newark Police, in connection with officers from the Natural Resources Police State Parks Enforcement, has led to the arrest of a University of Delaware student for selling marijuana and LSD.

The investigation began May 8 when Officer George Walton from State Parks Enforcement came into contact with Dylan Nunn, a UD student, in the White Clay Creek State Park while investigating a complaint along the Pomeroy Trail within White Clay Creek State Park. At that time, Nunn was found to be in possession of 460 grams of edible marijuana packaged for sale. 

On Friday, May 20, members of the Newark Police Department Street Crimes Unit and officers from the Natural Resources Police State Parks Enforcement executed a search warrant at Nunn’s apartment in the 200 block of East Main Street in Newark. During the search, officers located 62 dosage units of LSD, 3,522 grams of raw and edible marijuana products along with associated drug paraphernalia and several stolen street signs belonging to the city of Newark and the state parks. According to police, Nunn was manufacturing edible marijuana at this location.  

Nunn was taken into custody without incident, arraigned through Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released after posting $50,000 secured bond.

He was charged with drug dealing in a tier 2 quaitity (LSD), drug dealing in a tier 3 quantity (marijuana), possession of a controlled substance (LSD), possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of receiving stolen property.
