Governor’s Task Force Arrests Dover Man for Drug Offenses and Resisting Arrest
Delaware State Police arrested 34-year-old Jesus Torres of Dover, Delaware, on multiple drug and resisting arrest charges after a pursuit near Seaford yesterday. On July 16, 2024, at approximately 3:47 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 Acura initially did not stop when the detective tried to pull it over. The Acura ultimately came to a stop at a dead end on Jewell Street, at which point the detective attempted to arrest the driver, later identified as Jesus Torres. Torres failed to comply with verbal commands and struck the detective several times as he physically resisted arrest. Torres was able to escape and fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later. After Torres was taken into custody, detectives searched the Acura and found approximately 21.95 grams of powder cocaine, and $932 in suspected drug dealing proceeds.
