Resume:

Seaford, De – Troopers arrested a Seaford man after his vehicle was disabled during a pursuit.

On March 6th at 5:58 p.m. a trooper observed Michael W. Williams, of Seaford, drive a green SUV through the intersection of Church Road and Concord Road, without stopping at a stop sign.

The trooper attempted to stop Williams on Concord Road, but he continued driving and began passing vehicles on the right shoulder of the roadway. Willams continued to drive on numerous Sussex County roads while committing traffic violations.

Two Probation and Parole Officers exited their vehicle and stopped cross traffic on Route 404 to minimize the risk of a collision. As Williams crossed the intersection he drove towards them but did not strike them.

Eventually Williams turned off of Route 9 onto Old Furnace Road, and a trooper deployed stop sticks which deflated the tires of his vehicle. The vehicle then entered a field and came to a stop, and Williams was apprehended. A search of his vehicle revealed several Endocet pills.

Williams was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Court 3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institute after failing to post $12,750 secured bail.
