BRIDGEVILLE - Delaware State Police arrested a Rehoboth Beach man after a traffic stop for loud music Tuesday evening led to the discovery of drugs.

While patrolling the Coverdale area just before 10 p.m. April 23, members of the Governor’s Task Force encountered a silver Hyundai Sonata southbound on Coverdale Road in the area of Mill Park Drive playing loud music.
