By LAWRENCE HARDY Staff reporter WILMINGTON A suspected major crack cocaine trafficker and 29 others have been arrested in a two-week investigation of drug dealing at the Riverside housing project, city police said Tuesday.

Parker Lee Johnson, 45, of Raven Turn in Brookmont Farms, was arrested Tuesday morning after undercover officers watched him make a drug deal at 27th Street and Edgemoor Avenue, police said. Officers confiscated more than 880 capsules of crack cocaine which they said had an estimated street value of $22,000. It was the largest seizure of crack cocaine destined for sale in Wilmington. Police said the seizure may mean crack a deadly form of cocaine that has plagued larger cities but largely bypassed Wilmington is finally gaining a foothold here. Earlier this year, most Wilmington users were still smoking cocaine in its less-addictive powdered form.

"If crack catches hold here, we ain't seen nothin' yet," said Sgt. Don Roberts of the city vice squad. At a news conference Tuesday, police displayed the orange and white crack capsules, as well as $437 in food stamps, $3,181 and bullets taken from two of Johnson's cars. During the investigation, 10 other cars also were seized. The probe began after four residents called police within 24 hours, complaining of the project's open-air drug market.

God picked them up and moved them out of the way. That's what I believe." Ted Thomas had just finished building the kitchen addition onto the house he shares with his mother and stepfather, Alan and Katherine Ginn. But the room was completely Tuesday. The roof was pulled away from the main house, the walls were pulled from the floor, splintered aluminum siding was left hanging and Katherine Ginn's kitchenware was strewn around the back yard. The contents of the refrigerator were splattered all over what was left of the kitchen floor.

Once the truck reached the back yard, it still had enough force to roll a 499-gallon propane tank onto its side. "Gas was spraying all around," Katherine Ginn said. A quick-thinking neighbor shut off the valve, averting an explosion, she said. 1 ters. Swadley Pamela and Stephen, 156 Killoran Collins Park, Aug.

When Kit Thomas heard the noise Tuesday afternoon, she had a pretty good idea what was happening. "I thought the world was blowing up," said Thomas, 16. Instead, Thomas saw a truck drive through a kitchen wall of her Main Street home and out into the back yard. Thomas and her friend, 14-year-old Danny Johnson of Chesapeake City, were at the kitchen table, directly in the path of the truck. Both were thrown clear and neither was seriously injured.

They were treated at Elkton's Union Hospital. The driver of the Chevy Blazer, identified as Nick Harkins of near Middletown, refused treat ment, witnesses said. Ted Thomas, Kit's father, said he was painting the front porch when he saw the truck nick the rear wheel of a state dump truck, veer across Main Street and take out a 15-foot section of his neighbor's fence. The truck did not slow down as it headed across the CHRISTIANA Brennan Mary, 2 Colony Apt. 161 Colony North Apartments, Aug.
