Date Posted: Tuesday, January 27th, 2026

The Delaware State Police have arrested 40-year-old Lindsey Moncavage of Georgetown, Delaware, following a pursuit yesterday in the Long Neck area.

On January 26, 2026, at approximately 4:00 p.m., a member of the Sussex County Governor’s Task Force saw a Ford F-150 almost collide with another vehicle at the intersection while traveling eastbound on John J. Williams Highway near Bay Farm Road. The Ford turned onto Bay Farm Road and the detective tried to pull it over, but it failed to stop, and a pursuit ensued. The F-150 traveled at a low rate of speed on several area streets and roads and during the pursuit, a female passenger tried to jump out but was unable to do so. While traveling on Sloan Road, the passenger was able to jump out of the truck and suffered a minor injury. The F-150 ultimately came to a stop in the Pinewater Farm community after striking a fence and a tree. The driver, identified as Lindsey Moncavage, ran from the truck, and jumped into the Rehoboth Bay. A pursuing trooper jumped into the bay, apprehended her, and pulled her to safety. Moncavage was taken into custody without further incident. A computer check showed that Moncavage’s driver’s license was revoked and that she was wanted for violation of probation. During a search of the F-150, troopers found drug paraphernalia.

Moncavage was taken to an area hospital for evaluation, and after being released, she was taken to Troop 4. She was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $5,504 secured bond.
