DOVER, Del. — Dover’s planning director has moved to revoke the license of a deli where police said four people were arrested last month.



City Planning Director Dave Hugg on made the move to revoke Fulton Market’s business license on the grounds of nuisance concerns. The city’s fire marshal had also identified a number of violations in the building involving things like power outlets, use of extension cords, and a fire suppression system.



The ruling comes just a couple weeks after police said four people were arrested in connection to a drug investigation at the deli that resulted in four arrests.



Police said the deli’s owner was charged with selling paraphernalia and another person in the deli was charged with possession of crack cocaine.



Some neighbors had long complained the deli had been a haven for drug activity and criminal behavior.



The deli’s owner, Wadeea Albaadani, and his attorney argued he had not intentionally supported or facilitated any illegal activity.



Once the decision becomes final next week, Albaadani may appeal it to the city council.
