OCEAN VIEW, DE – A Delaware man was arrested and charged with his sixth DUI offense last night.

After a traffic stop in Lincoln last night, the Delaware State Police arrested 57-year-old George Elliott of Ocean View, Delaware for sixth-offense DUI.

The trooper observed as the truck driver failed to maintain travel within a single lane, and a traffic stop was conducted. The trooper contacted the driver, identified as George Elliott, and detected signs of impairment.

The police conducted a DUI investigation, and Elliott was eventually taken into custody without incident. A computer check revealed that Elliott had five prior DUI convictions.
