Delaware State Police have arrested 68-year-old David Tillman, of Chester Township, Pennsylvania, for 6th Offense DUI on Saturday evening.

On August 30, 2025, at approximately 10:00 p.m., troopers responded to the area of I-95 northbound near Marsh Road in Wilmington for a report of a vehicle driven off the roadway and became disabled. Upon arrival, troopers contacted the driver, identified as David Tillman, who was standing beside the tan Ford Explorer. Troopers recognized Tillman from previous contact including a recent DUI arrest. During the contact with Tillman, the trooper saw signs of drug impairment. Tillman declined to complete Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and was taken into custody without incident for driving under the influence of drugs. A computer check showed that Tillman had five prior DUI convictions.

Tillman was taken to Troop 1, where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $10,001 secured bond.
