The sequence began at 9:54 p.m. Friday when police said a speeding stop led to the alleged discovery of marijuana in a vehicle on U.S. 13.
Officers approached the car and reportedly smelled an odor of marijuana and then conducted a vehicle search, spokesman Lt. Earl K. Brode said. According to police, a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia were located.

Just over four hours after the first arrest, a 30-year-old Dover man allegedly was found with a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia during a traffic violation stop at approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, authorities said.
Sean M. Schwappe-Both, of the first block of Garden Crest Road, was found through a computer check to have a suspended driver’s license, police said.
