WPD arrest alleged drug dealer linked to fatal overdoses

WILMINGTON — Wilmington Police have arrested a drug dealer linked to the distribution of “hell razor” heroin — the substance identified in several deaths earlier this year.

Officers arrested Darryl Owens in New York on a Wilmington warrant. He waived extradition and was returned to Wilmington yesterday.

Owens has been charged with possession with intent and conspiracy to sell a controlled substance.

He is being held at the New Hanover County jail on $750,000 bond.
