Troopers Arrest Man for DUI and Assaulting Police

The Delaware State Police arrested 37-year-old Kevin Jasovsky of Bel Air, Maryland for DUI and assaulting police officers after a crash that occurred yesterday in Milton.

On August 7, 2023, at approximately 9:27 p.m., a trooper on patrol came across a black Nissan Pathfinder that had just struck a construction barrier next to the left lane of Coastal Highway south of Broadkill Road. The Nissan had also struck a fully marked Delaware River & Bay Authority (DRBA) Police Department Chevrolet Tahoe, and the police officer that had been driving the Tahoe was trying to contact the driver of the Nissan. The trooper also tried to contact the driver, but he refused to get out of the Pathfinder and tried to drive away. Both the trooper and the DRBA officer were able to get the driver out of the vehicle and take him to the ground. Once on the ground, the driver physically resisted arrest and injured both the officer and the trooper.

The driver, identified as Kevin Jasovsky, was taken into custody after a brief struggle. The trooper smelled alcohol coming from Jasovsky, who displayed signs of impairment. Both the trooper and Jasovsky were taken to an area hospital for treatment, and both were released later in the evening.

While Jasovsky was at the hospital he was charged with the following crimes:

  • Assault Second Degree of a Law Enforcement Officer (Felony)
  • Offensive Touching of a Law Enforcement Officer
  • Resisting Arrest
  • Driving Under the Influence
  • Traffic offenses

Jasovsky was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $12,325 cash bond.

State Police Investigating Fatal Three-Car Crash

The Delaware State Police are investigating a fatal collision that occurred in Delmar earlier today that left one woman dead.

On July 31, 2023, at approximately 6:15 a.m., a maroon 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was traveling southbound on Sussex Highway just south of West Snake Road. At the same time, a black 2012 Toyota Camry was traveling northbound on Sussex Highway approaching East Snake Road, with a silver 2006 Chevrolet Impala traveling behind it. For unknown reasons, the Monte Carlo began to slide to its left and went into the grass median. It crossed the median and went into the northbound lanes of Sussex Highway, where the front of the oncoming Camry struck the right side of the Monte Carlo. This caused both cars to start rotating and led to the front of the Monte Carlo colliding with the front of the northbound Impala.

The driver of the Monte Carlo, a 19-year-old man from Seaford, Delaware, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital in critical condition.

The driver of the Camry, a 51-year-old woman from Delmar, Maryland, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her name is being withheld until her family and relatives are notified.
