A fugitive from West Virginia wanted on federal drug charges was arrested Friday in Selbyville. Thomas Clancy, 42, originally of Morgantown, W.Va., was arrested at a home in the 37000 block of Leisure Drive, U.S. Marshall David Thomas said. "It looks like he's probably been there one or two months," Thomas said. Clancy's wife and two infant children were also in the home. They were not harmed in the police raid nor taken into custody.
When Delaware State Police and members of the Delaware and Capitol Area Regional Fugitive Task Force entered the home, Clancy tried to hide behind a refrigerator, Thomas said. He was taken into custody after a brief struggle.
Clancy faces federal charges for allegedly growing 50 or more marijuana plants. He fled West Virginia after a federal grand jury indicted him on Oct. 1, Thomas said. Police found no evidence of drug trafficking in the Selbyville home, Thomas said.
Thomas would not say how police learned Clancy had fled to Delaware. He said Clancy did not have any relatives in the area. Clancy will be detained by the marshals until he is transferred to West Virginia, probably next week, Thomas said.
