(Wilmington, DE 19802) On Thursday, June 19, 2025, at approximately 8:02 p.m., Detectives from the New Castle County Division’s Active Crime Trends Team were patrolling the Edgemoor area when they observed a Nissan Altima commit a traffic violation. A traffic stop was initiated at the intersection of Governor Printz Boulevard and East Lea Boulevard, where Detectives contacted 24-year-old Jaylin Greenidge of Wilmington, the sole occupant of the vehicle. During the stop, Detectives observed a handgun inside the car. Greenidge cooperatively exited the vehicle, leading Detectives to discover several boxes of chocolate infused with psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana.
