Troopers Arrest Man for 6th Offense DUI


Date Posted: Wednesday, December 21st, 2022

The Delaware State Police have arrested 57-year-old George Elliott of Ocean View, Delaware for sixth-offense DUI following a traffic stop that occurred in Lincoln last night.

On December 20, 2022, at approximately 9:05 p.m., a trooper on patrol observed a 2018 black Ford pickup truck traveling northbound on Dupont Boulevard in the area of East Hudson Pond Road. The trooper observed as the truck driver failed to maintain travel within a single lane, and a traffic stop was conducted. The trooper contacted the driver, identified as George Elliott, and detected signs of impairment. A DUI investigation ensued, and Elliott was subsequently taken into custody without incident. A computer check of Elliott revealed that he had five prior DUI convictions.

Elliott was transported to Troop 5 and charged with 6th Offense DUI and other traffic offenses. Elliott was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court # 3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $5,101 cash bond.
