Detectives from the New Castle County Division of Police, Criminal Investigations Unit, have charged Darrell Sams, Jr., a 39-year-old Camden-Wyoming man and former administrator of Appoquinimink School District, with sexual solicitation of a child.

During the course of the investigation, Detectives learned the messages were sent in June 2022.
On Friday, (3/31) Detectives responded to Sams’s residence to execute a search warrant where he was later taken into custody without incident.
Darrell Sams, Jr. was arraigned and issued a no-contact order. He was released after posting a $60,000 cash bail.
