A Bridgeville man is facing multiple felony charges after Delaware State Police discovered heroin during a Thursday afternoon traffic stop that also resulted in his fourth DUI arrest.
Marcus Massey Jr., 24, was pulled over around 3:20 p.m. on December 18, 2025, while a state trooper was patrolling near Cypress Swamp in Frankford. According to police, Massey’s vehicle had drifted from its lane and nearly collided with oncoming traffic, prompting the traffic stop.
During the encounter, the trooper noticed indicators that Massey was under the influence and conducted Standard Field Sobriety Tests. A subsequent search uncovered approximately 4.29 grams of heroin hidden on Massey’s body. Police records also showed that Massey had been convicted of DUI three times previously.
Massey cooperated during his arrest and was brought to Troop 4 headquarters for processing. He appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 2 for arraignment and is now housed at Sussex Correctional Institution under an $11,503 secured bond.
The charges against Massey include:
- Possession With Intent to Manufacture or Deliver Controlled Substance, Tier 2 (Felony)
- 4th Offense Driving a Vehicle Under the Influence of Any Drug (Felony)
- Possession of Controlled Substance, Tier 2 (Felony)
- Driving While Suspended or Revoked
- Other Traffic Offenses
