DSP Arrest Seaford Man on Felony Charges During Traffic Stop

ELLENDALE, Del. – The Delaware State Police (DSP) arrested a man on Tuesday night on felony charges following a traffic stop for a seatbelt violation.

At approximately 10:32 p.m. on Sept. 9, a trooper observed a white Hyundai Sonata traveling on South Old State Road and New Hope Road with the driver not wearing a seatbelt. A computer check on the vehicle showed that the registration on the car was suspended for no insurance.

The trooper subsequently initiated a traffic stop where he pulled over 38-year-old Duonne Green of Seaford. While troopers spoke to Green, he showed multiple signs of impairment. Upon being asked to exit the vehicle, troopers saw a handgun in his pocket and detained him without incident. A computer check on Green indicated that he is a person prohibited from possessing a firearm and/or ammunition, and has a suspended driver’s license.

Green was taken to DSP Troop 7, where he refused Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. He has been charged on multiple counts, including driving under the influence and possession of a firearm within 10 years of a prior felony conviction. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $21,202 cash bond.
