Suspect: Anthony M. Sabato, 53, Millsboro, DE
Narrative: On 20 September 2019 at 4:30 PM, a deputy approached an individual later identified as Anthony Sabato, who was in a vehicle parked in the lot at the Salisbury Airport. Upon approach to Sabato, the deputy observed that the engine of Sabato’s vehicle was on and Sabato was sitting behind the wheel with his seat belt on, but Sabato was slumped over in his seat.
The deputy managed to rouse Sabato and detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Sabato and observed that Sabato was unsteady and had trouble maintaining his balance. Sabato stated that he had planned to catch a flight at the airport. When asked if he would consent to sobriety testing, Sabato told the deputy there was no need for that and that he would consent to a breath test. The result of the breath test would show a blood alcohol level of .22.
The deputy also discovered that Sabato’s privilege to drive had been revoked by the State of Delaware due to a previous DUI.
Sabato was released pending a future court date. Sabato was unable to make his flight.
