Delaware State Police have arrested 51-year-old Todd Kellner, of Westminster, Maryland, for 5th Offense DUI following a traffic stop Friday night.

On August 29, 2025, at approximately 9:00 p.m., troopers were called to the area of Seashore Highway and Sussex Highway in Bridgeville for a report of a black GMC Yukon driving at low speed in the left lane, swerving all over the roadway, and the driver possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The trooper located the GMC on Sussex Highway southbound near Redden Road, driving in the left lane below the posted speed limit and initiated a traffic stop.

The trooper contacted the driver, identified as Todd Kellner, and administered Standardized Field Sobriety Test where Kellner showed numerous signs of impairment. Kellner was subsequently taken into custody without incident for driving under the influence of alcohol. A computer check showed that Kellner had four prior DUI convictions.

Kellner was taken to Troop 5, where he was charged with the crime listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $6,000 secured bond.
