Lewes Man Arrested for Felony Drug Charges
**Lewes, DE** – Delaware State Police arrested Byard Widdoes, age 39, from Lewes, Delaware, on Thursday for felony drug charges.
Troopers responded on Thursday at approximately 7:21 a.m. to a report of an unconscious man at the Wawa located on 17663 Dartmouth Drive in Lewes. They found Widdoes slumped over the steering wheel of a maroon Nissan Rogue. Upon waking, Widdoes did not require medical care but was confused and repeatedly put his hands in his pockets despite instructions not to.
Widdoes was detained and searched, which led to the discovery of drugs and drug paraphernalia. A computer check revealed existing capias warrants for his arrest. During the search, troopers found various substances including powder cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, liquid methamphetamine, liquid testosterone, heroin, and several prescription pills.
Widdoes was taken to Troop 7, where he faced multiple charges including possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Howard Beach Home Burglary Indictment
**Queens, NY** – Laurel Bay has been indicted on charges of burglary, criminal trespass, and additional crimes for unlawfully occupying a vacant single-family home in Howard Beach. The property, vacated since 2012, was managed by its out-of-state homeowner. Neighbor reports to the police about suspicious activities led to Bay’s arrest.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz emphasized the legality of entering and staying in a property without consent, stating the defendant attempted to claim the home unjustly. Bay now faces serious charges thanks in part to alert neighbors who reported the situation.
On Tuesday, Bay, a 49-year-old resident of 198th Street in Hollis, was arraigned on a five-count indictment. The charges include burglary in the second degree and criminal trespass in the second degree. Supreme Court Justice Toni Cimino has set the court date for November 26, with a potential maximum sentence of 15 years if Bay is convicted on the top count.
The arrest occurred after an eyewitness saw Bay moving items at 8:40 p.m. on July 18. Upon police arrival, she was exiting the premises, leading to her first arrest and a desk appearance ticket. A
