Widdoes was arrested and taken to Troop 7 where he was charged with two counts possession of a controlled substance tier 1; two counts possession of a controlled substance, tier 3; seven counts possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance; and other drug and paraphernalia charges. He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in default of an $83,500 cash bond.
