Superintendent Colonel William D. Crotty
The Delaware State Police arrested 29-year-old Marquan Mack of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on felony and related charges following a vehicle pursuit early Friday morning in Frederica.
On January 30, 2026, at approximately 2:00 a.m., a trooper was patrolling Bay Road near Barratts Chapel Road in Frederica, Delaware, when the trooper saw a Lexus ES300 traveling southbound at a high rate of speed. When the trooper attempted to pullover the Lexus, the driver did not stop, and a vehicle pursuit began. The driver accelerated to a higher rate of speed and the pursuit was terminated due to public safety concerns. The Delaware State Police Communications Section alerted surrounding police agencies of the fleeing vehicle.
A short time later, officers from the City of Milford Police Department located the Lexus disabled near North Street and Dupont Boulevard. Upon seeing law enforcement, the driver of the Lexus, later identified as Mack, threw a baggie containing an unknown substance from the vehicle. Troopers responded to the scene and, after a brief struggle, Mack was taken into custody. A search of the surrounding area led to the recovery of the discarded baggie, which contained approximately 3.5 grams of suspected powder cocaine.
Further investigation revealed Mack provided false identifying information to troopers in an attempt to conceal active warrants for violation of parole in New Jersey and violation of probation in Pennsylvania. Troopers also observed signs of impairment and conducted a DUI investigation.
Mack was taken to Troop 3 where he was charged with the below listed offenses, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on a $6,001 secured bond.
