Smyrna, DE – Troopers have arrested a 17-year-old Smyrna teen after he attempted to pull a female victim over with his car early Monday morning.
The incident occurred around 12:10 a.m. Monday August 24, 2015, as a 24-year-old female victim was traveling northbound on Bayside Drive (SR9) just north of North Little Creek Road when the vehicle she was behind pulled to the right shoulder to allow her to pass. Once around the vehicle, which later turned out to be a tan Chevrolet Impala, the car pulled back out behind her and activated some strobe lights that were placed in the grill and windshield. Thinking that the Malibu was a police officer, the female pulled to the shoulder, but the car passed by her. As the female continued northbound, she observed the car once again on the shoulder with its light out. When she passed by the Impala, it again pulled out behind her and activated the strobe lights. This time the female did not pull over and the car pulled alongside of her in a no passing zone for a few seconds before passing her. The victim was able called 9-1-1 to report the incident and describe the vehicle which was soon pulled over by Smyrna Police Department just east of Big Oak Road on Smyrna-Leipsic Road.
Edward Steele Jr., 17 of Smyrna, was taken into custody without incident and transported back to Troop 9 in Odessa. He was later charged with Criminal Impersonation of a Police Officer (Felony), Disorderly Conduct, Driving without a Valid License, Driving in a No Passing Zone, and Unauthorized Flashing Lights. He was arraigned at JP2 and released on $1,325.00 unsecured bond.

Get this would-be rapist/kidnapper to a psychiatrist right now.
Just another reason for the public to demand the banning of unmarked cars.
Just practice for hillarys secret service lol.
I agree. No unmarked should pull traffic stops.
All he did was pull over and follow while using strobes. Not blue or red lights. Never got out of spoke to her. Idk bout Delaware but in Maryland no laws been broken.
