Millsboro- The Delaware State Police have arrested 37-year-old Ronald L. Foster after he led them on a pursuit while driving under the influence.

The incident occurred on January 21, 2020 at approximately 3:43 p.m., when a Trooper observed a white Mercury Mariner traveling westbound on Caravel Drive in the River Village development, Millsboro, spinning tires, making quick evasive maneuvers and failing to stop at a stop sign.  A traffic stop was initiated, when the driver refused to stop.  As the operator continued to evade police, multiple traffic violations were being committed, including passing a stopped school bus, traveling above the posted speed limit, failing to stop at multiple stop signs and driving on the shoulder.

The vehicle eventually came to a stop on westbound John J. Williams Highway east of  Mountaire Farms.  The driver, Ronald L. Foster was taken into custody without further incident.  An odor of alcohol was detected and a DUI investigation ensued.  A computer inquiry revealed that Foster’s license was suspended and the vehicle had fictitious plates and was not registered.  Foster also had four active capias’.

Foster was transported back to Troop 5 where he was charged with the following:

• Disregarding a Police Officer Signal (Felony)
• Driving a Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol
• Driving While Suspended
• Passing a Stopped School Bus
• Reckless Driving
• 34 other related traffic offenses
