Georgetown- Delaware State Police arrested 26-year-old Shantai Lancaster of Norfolk, VA, and 21-year-old Kyanna Stevens of Norfolk, VA, on drugs and weapons charges following a traffic stop Saturday morning.

On May 8, 2021, at approximately 11:39 a.m., Sussex County Governor’s Task Force members were on proactive patrol in the area of DuPont Blvd. and South Bedford St., Georgetown, when they observed a green Acura MDX traveling northbound DuPont Blvd. with illegal tinting on all of the windows including the windshield. Unit members initiated a traffic stop and made contact with the operator, later identified as Shantai Lancaster, and the front seat passenger, later identified as Kyanna Stevens. Upon contact, Lancaster did not have a valid driver’s license and the trooper detected an odor of marijuana emitting from inside of the vehicle. A criminal investigation ensued and subsequently a probable cause search was conducted.

The trooper discovered the following items inside of the vehicle, four of which were guns:

  • Glock 48 9mm
  • Glock Bodyguard .380 caliber
  • Century Arms Inc. .380 caliber
  • Century Arms Inc. Georgia Draco Nark 9mm
  • Approximately 20 grams of Psilocybin Mushrooms
  • Approximately 82.67 grams of Marijuana
  • Over $1,500 in suspected drug proceeds
