BRIDGEVILLE, DE – On Thursday morning, a Delaware State Trooper arrested De’Andre Barham, a 22-year-old man from Bridgeville, following a pursuit and foot chase. The incident began when the trooper spotted Barham riding a moped without a registration plate on Mill Park Drive.

Barham fled the scene, leading to a chase that ended when he ran into the woods and was apprehended by the trooper.

He also had two active warrants for violation of probation.
