Leopoldo C. Diaz, 29, of Laurel, Del., was contacted by police Friday afternoon when an officer observed him driving a vehicle with an open container of alcohol in the area of Rehoboth Avenue and the Boardwalk. While in custody, officers learned that Diaz had multiple felony warrants for his arrest out of Wicomico County, Maryland.
On April 28th, 2017, just after 1:30pm, an officer was attending to a parking issued when he observed Diaz, who was driving a black GMC Terrain, pull into the parking space next to where he was standing. The officer observed two alcoholic beverages inside the vehicle, one of which was open. The officer investigated further by contacting Diaz at which time he observed that Diaz was displaying signs of alcohol impairment.
Due to a language barrier, officers were unable to administer Diaz standardized roadside sobriety field test; however, based upon their observations, the officers took Diaz into custody and transported him to the Rehoboth Beach Police Department where further blood alcohol testing was conducted.
While at the police department, officers used fingerprint identification technology to identify Diaz and subsequently discovered that he had an active warrant out of the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department for numerous charges including felony burglary and assault.
Diaz was arrested and charged with 1 count of driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, 1 count of driving without a license, and 1 count of being a fugitive from another state. Diaz is being held without bail at the Sussex Correctional Institution pending extradition.

Yeah those dumb democrats that developed the computer, the programs, the phone that allows you to hate people for having a different opinion than you. It is just as bad as hating people for their religion or color. You are sofa king ignorant and this comes from a republican who is tired of people like you making republicans look bad.

Probably because he did not escape from the WCDS
Dont matter he got ties to Wicomico county and has a bonified record of shootin at the homes of law enforcement & 100 years to serve. Who gaf bout where he escaped from. He got nothing to lose if he choose to go all out
He did escape WCDC custody, he was being transported by their officers and not WCSO deputies. And why it doesnt appears under the alerts? Why do you think? Thats their MO, it has been for years;that place is a cesspool starting from the very top.

Well, if they send him back to MD, they will give his no English A$$ a driver's license so that doesn't happen again. Oh yeah, and they'll let him use the license to let his no English, illegal immigrant, criminal A$$ vote in the elections. Ain't Maryland great?
