Resume: Yesterday afternoon, at about 3:00 p.m., a Troop 5 patrol officer stopped a suspicious person on Woolford Street near Seaford. This subject was later identified as Antonio Whittaker.

Whittaker became disorderly with the Trooper and then fled on foot. The officer gave chase and deployed his Tazer, stopping Whittaker in his tracks. The struggle, however, continued. A Seaford Police Officer arrived on the scene and Whittaker was eventually taken into custody.

A computer check revealed Whittaker was currently a wanted subject out of the Court of Common Pleas. This check also revealed he was an interstate probationer and that he had provided the officer with a false name.

Antonio Whittaker was formally charged with Criminal Impersonation, Resisting Arrest and Disorderly Conduct. Bail for these new charged was set at $1,500.00 unsecured. He was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute in regards to his CCP capias.
