Traffic Stop Leads to Arrest of Two
On 07/14/2024 at approximately 2:28 am, a Milford Police Department Patrol Officer observed a gray Chevrolet Silverado traveling westbound on NE front St in the area of East St at a high rate of speed. The patrol officer initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle, which came to a stop in the area of SE Front St. and Marshall St. When the officer made contact with the operator, they observed signs of impairment and a Driving under the Influence (DUI) investigation was initiated. The operator, who was identified as Sergio Gomez-Gonzalez, 23 of Lincoln, DE, refused to complete the standard field sobriety tests and resisted arrest. Gomez-Gonzalez was taken into custody without further incident. The passenger of the vehicle, identified as Brayan Ramirez-Ramirez, 22 of Greenwood, DE, began to interfere with the officers attempting to take Gomez-Gonzalez into custody. Officers then attempted to take Ramirez-Ramirez into custody but he began to resist arrest and in the process caused minor injury to two of the officers. Ramirez-Ramirez was taken into custody without further incident. A search incident to arrest of Gomez-Gonzalez’s vehicle resulted in the discovery and seizure of 5.6 grams of crack cocaine and other drug paraphernalia.

Gomez-Gonzalez had a presentment through Justice of the Peace Court 7 and was committed to the Department of Correction on an intoxication hold. Once sober, he was released on his own recognizance by the court. Gomez-Gonzalez was ordered to appear in the Kent County Court of Common Pleas at a later date for a preliminary hearing.
