Delaware State Police have arrested 57-year-old Jeffrey Marvil of Laurel, Delaware, for 6th offense felony DUI and related traffic offenses.

On March 13, 2025, at approximately 12:34 p.m., a trooper on patrol saw a black Chevrolet pick-up traveling westbound on Camp Road in Laurel. The trooper saw the pick-up had an unsecured load of wood and metal in the bed, driving slowly, and a computer check showed that the registration displayed was fictitious.
