The Delaware State Police arrested 62-year-old Bryan Debello, of Smyrna, Delaware, for a fifth-offense felony DUI and related traffic charges Monday night in Dover.

On December 15, 2025, at approximately 11:30 p.m., troopers were dispatched to the area of Fast Landing Road and East Denneys Road, in Dover, for a report of a disabled vehicle in the roadway. Troopers located a Dodge Grand Caravan stopped in the middle of the road. Troopers spoke with the driver, later identified as Debello, who thought he was parked at a boat ramp. Debello showed signs of impairment, and his license was suspended, so he was taken into custody and driven to Troop 9, where he continued to display signs of impairment. A computer search showed Debello had four prior DUI convictions.

Debello was charged with the below offenses, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 7, and released on a $6,051.00 unsecured bond.

  • 5th Offense DUI (Felony)
  • Driving While Suspended or Revoked
  • No Person Shall Stop, Park, or Leave Standing any Vehicle Upon a Roadway
