Delaware State Police arrested 36-year-old Maurice Finney of Milford, Delaware, for his fifth DUI offense along with other traffic violations.

The incident occurred on Friday at around 1:35 a.m. A trooper on patrol observed a Chevrolet Traverse weaving while driving north on Coastal Highway near Postal Lane. The vehicle committed another traffic violation, prompting the trooper to initiate a traffic stop and administer a series of sobriety tests after observing signs of impairment in Finney.

Further investigation revealed that Finney had four prior convictions for DUI-related offenses. Subsequently, he was taken to Troop 7.

Finney faced charges including a fifth-offense DUI felony, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and speeding. He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution with a $6,101 cash bond.
