CAMDEN, Del. (WPVI) -- The Delaware State Police arrested two men in Kent County after a month long investigation into illegal drug sales.



19-year-old Jaleel D. Wayman of Harrington, Delaware and 19-year-old Robert Knox of Dover were both taken into custody Monday afternoon.



Authorities say they learned through the investigation that both suspects would be conducting a drug sale in the parking lot of a Walmart in Camden, Delaware.



As detectives approached the sale site, both men allegedly fled; Wayman on foot, Knox in a car.



Wayman was arrested shortly after. Knox led police on a chase, before he was arrested.



Police say they found more than 17 grams of MDMA on Wayman when he was arrested. 1.5 grams of marijuana, drug paraphenalia, and more than $2,000 in cash was located in the vehicle Knox was driving.



Wayman was in violation of probation, police said. He's in jail on $86,000 bond.



Knox faces similar charges. He's in jail on $25,600 bond.
