Drug / Fugitive Arrest

On Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at 11:32pm, Ptlm. English of the Martinsburg Police Department was on patrol in the area of Tavern Road and Tennessee Avenue, when he observed a vehicle fail to stop at a stop sign. Ptlm. English then initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle in the parking lot of the Martins Landing Apartment Complex.

Upon making contact with the driver, identified as David Deon Brown (DOB: 03/13/76) it was learned that he had a suspended driver’s license. Ptlm. Rouse of the Martinsburg Police Department then made contact with the passenger, who identified himself as Jaquin Moore. The passenger was subsequently removed from the vehicle and a bag containing ecstasy pills was located near his person on the ground. At that point, both persons were arrested and transported back to the Martinsburg Police Department.

Once back at the Martinsburg Police Department, Ptlm. Rouse conducted another search of the passenger and located two bags containing approximately 10 grams of cocaine. The passenger also advised officers that he had falsely provided the name of Jaquin Moore and that his name was Derrick Demond Brown. It was later determined that Derrick Demond Brown was wanted in Florida for a probation violation for 2nd Degree Murder, Robbery and two counts of use of a Deadly Weapon. He was then charged with 2 counts of Possession with Intent to Deliver a controlled substance (ecstasy, cocaine) as well as being a Fugitive from Justice.
