Two Lincoln men face drug and weapons charges following a traffic stop Nov. 15.

Police patrolling the area of Johnson Road and DuPont Boulevard in Lincoln at 2:13 p.m. pulled over a 2007 Chevrolet Impala traveling northbound on DuPont Boulevard for unauthorized tinted windows, said Sgt. Richard Bratz of the Delaware State Police. Upon contact with the occupants of the vehicle, Bratz said, police could smell marijuana and saw a passenger try to hide items under the seat. The driver, Chad W. Roundtree, 25, and the passenger, Jefferson A. Ramirez-Rodriguez, 19, were arrested without incident, Bratz said. A computer inquiry revealed Roundtree had an active capias for failure to pay out of the Sussex County Court of Common Pleas; Ramirez-Rodriguez had $157 of suspected drug proceeds as well as a firearm inside the vehicle, Bratz said. Also located in the car were marijuana, a loaded handgun, a ski mask, and drug paraphernalia.

Roundtree and Ramirez-Rodriguez were charged with possession of a concealed deadly weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance, second-degree conspiracy and possession of drug paraphernalia not related to personal use marijuana. Roundtree was also charged with operating a vehicle with aftermarket window tint without a tint waiver.

Both were arraigned and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $21,500 secured bond.
