Milton – The Delaware State Police have arrested a 45 year old Milford Man for a seventh offense of Driving under the Influence after he was observed driving erratically by a Delaware State Trooper on Cedar Creek Road in Milton yesterday at approximately 4:00 pm.
The trooper was on patrol when he observed a pick-up truck traveling in front of his patrol vehicle begin to drive across the center line of the roadway. This occurred several times and then the pick-up began to drive off the right shoulder of the road.
The trooper conducted a traffic stop and encountered Jeffrey H. Salevan, 45 of Milford as the operator. In the passenger seat was a 10 year old Milford girl that was the daughter of a friend of his. The trooper immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol and observed in plain view of the truck several open beer cans including one in the center console.
A standard DUI investigation ensued and Mr. Salevan failed field sobriety tests. A computer check of his license status revealed his drivers license was suspended an that he had six prior DUI convictions on 03/16/02, 07/01/97, 03/01/96, 02/03/92, 05/30/89 and 02/05/88.
He was taken into custody without incident and arrested for Felony DUI, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Drinking while Driving, Driving on a Suspended Driver’s License, Failure to Drive within Lane Markings and Possession of a Suspended Driver’s License. He was incarcerated at the Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of a $5000.00 cash only bail.

Who carries $5000.00 cash on them?
How can you let your 10 year old kid get in a vehicle with a drunk man? Thats child neglect minimum and child abuse maximum.
Another death waiting to happen. Maybe a few months in the county lockup without a beer will help.
Damn, this is going to make getting insurance real hard.
Mothers against drunk drivers are more of a menace on the roads.
they need to check for physical abuse on that little girl!
I thought I read something about this last night,( seven DUIs) but the picture was of a different man. After doing some searching I found out there was ANOTHER guy that was picked up a few hours afterward for DUI and also had 6 prior DUIs. Both men are 45 and have six prior convictons starting in 1988. The other guys name is Anthony B. McLeish and is also listed on the sex offenders registry in DE.
You have to wonder why they are not behind bars!
The mother of this child may not have let her go with this man don't convict her of wrong doing because he is the alcoholic with a problem! His is the problem and the system that keeps letting him out an be able to drive. I speak from bitter sweet experience. I have lost a child due to a multiple offender and I didn't let my son ride with his father drunk I didn't know his was drinkin I thought he was sober and not drinking for quite some time.
you know people like this should have background checks before be able to reproduce. A few years back a kid was killed in parsonsburg because his father had him and his sister in a work van and had been drinking the boy wasn't in a seat belt but a bucket in between the seats and was killed I believe he was six or so. Its a shame that because of a parental figures poor decisions the young boy had to die.
i am the mother of the little boy you're talking about he was in a car seat and buckled in. It is a shame that his father made a very poor decision and now his sister and I as well as the rest of my family live with it everyday and it has been 5 long years. I am very glad that the mother of this little girl doesn't have to live with the loss i feel every day of my life. It is a shame that people are able to keep driving over and over again and the state will give them a drivers license but most will drive without it.
A lady who has grandchildren she visits in WA State tells me Drunk Drivers get 5 yrs in prison out there----wonder if our laws need changing here.
well sorry to offend you if i did this is just what i heard from some people. I am also sorry to hear of your loss
lock him up for good
If we can't stop drunks from driving, how are we going to stop crooks from getting guns?
