Dover Man Arrested for Drug Offenses, Resisting Arrest
Delaware State Police have arrested a 34-year-old Dover man on multiple drug and resisting arrest charges after a pursuit near Seaford yesterday. According to State Police, yesterday shortly before 4 p.m., a member of the Sussex County Governor’s Task Force saw an Acura MDX fail to use its turn signal as it was turning onto German Road from Concord Pond Road. The driver–Jesus Torres– initially did not stop and then as the detective attempted to arrest him at a dead end on Jewell Street, he failed to comply with the officer’s commands and struck the detective several times. Torres was able to escape and fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later. After the arrest, detectives searched the Acura and found powder cocaine and hundreds of dollars in suspected drug dealing proceeds. Torres is now at Sussex Correctional Institution on a $23,501 cash bond.
