Resume:
Lewes, DE- The Delaware State Police arrested a Lewes man yesterday morning for a 5thoffense DUI.
The incident occurred around 11:18 a.m. yesterday as a general bulletin was broadcast about a blue Ford Ranger driving southbound on Coastal Highway (SR1) all over the roadway. A trooper on patrol was able to locate the vehicle in the area of SR1 and Minos Conaway Road and attempted to perform a traffic stop. The pick-up truck continued southbound and at one point was traveling at a high rate of speed in a left turn lane where it almost collided with another trooper sitting stationary in the cross-over with the emergency lights activated, waiting to assist with the traffic stop. The truck continued southbound across the Nassau Bridge and finally came to a stop on SR1 just north of five points.
Upon contacting the operator, who was later determined to be Donald C. Kilgore Jr., an odor of alcohol was detected and a DUI investigation ensued. Kilgore was subsequently taken into custody and transported back to Troop 7 where an inquiry into his driving record revealed four previous DUI convictions (12/09/97, 03/30/98, 09/21/98, and 10/15/07); this arrest would make #5.
Donald Kilgore was charged with the above listed offenses and arraigned a JP2. He was incarcerated at SCI on default of $10,405.00 cash bond.

Good. Should have been locked up on the 1st offense. Or 2nd... 3rd... Wait, what?
ReplyDeleteSurprised? The next one you read about will have 9 DUI's AND STILL DRIVING LEGALLY.
ReplyDeleteHow does this happen? Are DE DUI laws that lax? Glad he didn't kill anyone in the process of running!
ReplyDeleteBecause they know how to play the game.They bring as many children into the courtroom as possible that they are legally responsible for financially.Rather than take what little substance he provides away from them the judge feels he has no choice but to allow him to continue driving.The judge then restricts his or her driving to just go to work and back home.We all know how long that lasts.
ReplyDeleteMake these people wear a wrist band that will disable any car.
ReplyDeleteJoe, does you thinks there is more drunks on the Eastern shore than in the rest of USA?
