Bridgeville, DE – A Maryland man was arrested in Delaware late Saturday after state troopers allegedly found him driving under the influence for the fifth time.
According to Delaware State Police, troopers were dispatched around 9 p.m. Saturday to Seashore Highway and Sussex Highway in Bridgeville following reports of a black GMC Yukon driving at low speeds, swerving across lanes, and possibly operated by an impaired driver. Troopers located the vehicle traveling south on Sussex Highway near Redden Road and initiated a traffic stop after observing it moving below the posted speed limit.
Police said the driver, identified as 51-year-old Todd Kellner of Westminster, Maryland, allegedly showed multiple signs of impairment during a Standardized Field Sobriety Test. He was taken into custody without incident and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. A records check reportedly revealed Kellner had four prior DUI convictions.
Authorities confirmed Kellner was transported to Delaware State Police Troop 5 and charged with his fifth DUI offense. He was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $6,000 secured bond.
Troopers emphasized that Kellner’s case underscores ongoing enforcement efforts to keep impaired drivers off Delaware’s roadways. No injuries or crashes were reported during the incident.
