Md. man arrested for DUI, assault on law enforcement officers

MILTON, Del. – A Bel Air man was arrested on DUI and assault charges following a crash in the Milton area Monday night.

Just before 9:30 p.m., a Delaware State Police trooper on patrol came across a black Nissan Pathfinder that had just hit a construction barrier next to the left lane of Coastal Highway, south of Broadkill Road. The vehicle also reportedly hit a fully marked Delaware River & Bay Authority Police Department Chevrolet Tahoe, and the officer that had been driving that vehicle was trying to contact the driver of the Nissan. The trooper also tried to contact the driver, but he reportedly refused to get out and tried to drive away. Both the trooper and the DRBA officer were able to get the driver out of the vehicle and take him to the ground, at which point he physically resisted arrest and injured the trooper and officer.

The driver, identified as 37-year-old Kevin Jasovsky, was taken into custody after a brief struggle. The trooper smelled alcohol coming from Jasovsky, who was showing signs of impairment.

Both the trooper and Jasovsky were taken to an area hospital for treatment and were released later in the evening.

Jasovsky was held at SCI on a $12,325 cash bond after being charged with second degree assault of a law enforcement officer, offensive touching of a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, DUI, and various traffic offenses.
