Delaware State Police arrested Zion Adeduwon, 22, of Bowie, Maryland, and Bryce Jenifer, 22, of Silver Spring, Maryland, on drug charges and resisting arrest following a pursuit that took place early yesterday morning in New Castle County.
According to Delaware State Police, “On April 24, 2024, at approximately 1:45 a.m., a trooper patrolling the area of I-95 and the Biden Welcome Center observed a white 2020 BMW 3 series traveling northbound on I-95 with its four-way flashers on. A computer inquiry of the BMW’s Missouri registration revealed the registration was fictitious. The trooper initiated a traffic stop, however, the BMW did not stop and fled at a high rate of speed.
In the ensuing pursuit, the BMW drove in a reckless manner as it traveled on multiple Wilmington area roadways. The pursuit was terminated as the BMW approached a construction zone on I-95 southbound in the area of State Route 896. After the pursuit was terminated, troopers observed the BMW disregard the lane closure and drive into the closed lanes, where active construction was taking place. A short time later, troopers observed the BMW in the area of State Route 4 eastbound and Churchmans Road, and attempted to stop the vehicle. The BMW did not stop and continued to flee at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle pursuit ultimately ended on West Newport Pike after the BMW collided with a Delaware State Police Tahoe, then went off the roadway, and crashed into a mailbox. The driver and front passenger fled from the car towards a backyard on Glenmore Drive. After a brief foot chase, the driver, identified as Zion Adeduwon, and the front passenger, identified as Bryce Jenifer, were taken into custody without incident.
A search of Adeduwon’s person led to the discovery of $6,141 in suspected drug proceeds. A search of the BMW led to the discovery of approximately 1,498 grams of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. Adeduwon and Jenifer were transported to Troop 2, where they were charged with multiple crimes.
