LEWES, Del.- A Harrington teen has been arrested on drug and weapon charges, following a Lewes traffic stop late Thursday night.
Delaware State Police say just before midnight, a trooper on Coastal Hwy saw a white Nissan Altima traveling northbound in the area of Nassau Rd.

The trooper confirmed Snead was the driver, and pulled the car over. When the trooper approached Snead, a strong smell of marijuana was coming from inside the car.
Snead was arrested without incident, and a search of the car led to the discovery of about 90.19 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, over $380 in suspected drug proceeds, and a Smith & Wesson handgun with an obliterated serial number.
Snead was transported to Troop 7 and charged with the following offenses:
- Possession With Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance (Felony)
