WILMINGTON — Delaware State Police have made an arrest on Wednesday afternoon in relation to a month-long drug investigation.

Spokesperson Master Cpl. Heather Pepper said that troopers allegedly observed 33-year-old Wilmington man Jamar Rogers exiting a residence and entering his 2010 Nissan Maxima at approximately 1 p.m. in the unit block of Pike Creek Road. Police said that troopers attempted to detain Mr. Rogers for the pending search warrant execution, but he attempted to flee in his vehicle.
