On 2/11/19 at 0546 hours Troopers from the Salisbury Barrack were dispatched to the Gordy Tiger Mart located at 8600 Ocean Highway, Delmar, MD, for a report of a vehicle collision. The caller reported that the driver was attempting to flee the scene but his vehicle was stuck in the median.

When Troopers arrived on the scene, they observed a white 2010 Ford Mustang that was stuck in a small grass median after it had collided with a curb. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Mario Alphonse, of Seaford, DE. While speaking with the driver Troopers learned that the driver was attempting to back out of a parking spot and traveled up over the curb and onto the median. During the conversation with the driver, troopers detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the driver’s breath when he spoke. He was asked to complete field sobriety and he performed poorly and was placed under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol.
