Delaware State Police arrested 66-year-old Johnny Diogo, of Greenwood, Delaware, for a 5^th offense DUI and drug-related charges on Monday in Milton.

On October 30, 2023, at approximately 3:37 p.m., a trooper on patrol responded to the Valero gas station located at 25772 Deep Branch Road in Milton for a report of a man slumped over the driver’s wheel of a Ford F-150 pick-up truck. When the trooper arrived, he contacted Johnny Diogo, the driver of the F-150. The trooper woke up Diogo, who showed signs of impairment during their interaction. It was determined that Diogo was under the influence after the trooper conducted Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. A search of Diogo and the pick-up truck led to the discovery of drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Diogo was taken into custody and transported to Troop 7, where a computer check revealed that he had four previous DUI convictions. He was charged with the following crimes:

• 5^th offense DUI (Felony)
• Possession of a Controlled Substance
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Diogo was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $3,200 secured bond.
