The manager of Grotto Pizza is accused of selling cocaine to employees and customers inside and outside of the Main Street restaurant and bar, according to court records.
Michael Gordon-Somers, 40, of Elkton, Md., was arrested Feb. 23 and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, drug dealing, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving on a revoked license. He was released on his own recognizance.
The investigation began in October when a tipster reported to Newark Police that he had witnessed Gordon-Somers engaging in hand-to-hand drug transactions inside the restaurant, which is a popular nightlife destination among University of Delaware students. He also alleged that Gordon-Somers used drugs to take sexual advantage of young male staffers, according to court records.
