BRIDGEVILLE, DE — A Maryland man with four previous DUI convictions was arrested Saturday night after state troopers pulled him over for erratic driving in Sussex County and determined he was impaired behind the wheel again.
Around 9:00 p.m. on August 29, Delaware State Police responded to a report of a black GMC Yukon driving at low speed and swerving in the left lane along Seashore Highway and Sussex Highway in Bridgeville.
