Resume:
Delaware State Police early Thursday morning observed a vehicle on Hebron road Rehoboth. What was different about this vehicle is that the operator was parked in the middle of the road with the engine running.

At 12:40 a.m. State Troopers contacted the operator Peter N. Minetree of Maple Road Lewes, Delaware. Troopers asked for Minetree’s identification however instead of presenting a license Minetree put the vehicle and drive and fled the area.

Minetree fled in a green van and Troopers followed suit. Minetree turned onto Coastal Highway and began traveling southbound in the northbound lanes. Minetree next turned onto Oyster House Road and eventually back onto Coastal Highway. The only problem was that Minetree was now traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of travel. Minetree turned into the Eagles Landing Development behind the Big Fish Grill and fled on foot.

Minetree was apprehended a short time later and charged him with the above offenses. Minetree was remanded to Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of $6,100 cash bail.
