Delaware State Police have arrested 54-year-old Nathaniel Spencer, of Lewes, Delaware, for 4th Offense DUI and numerous traffic-related offenses following a traffic stop last night.
On August 23, 2025, at approximately 10 p.m., a trooper on patrol observed a white Acura traveling eastbound in the westbound lane of Robinsonville Road near Kendale Road. The vehicle then crossed back over into the correct lane of travel. The trooper initiated a traffic stop, activating emergency lights to pull the car over.
The driver, identified as Nathaniel Spencer, opened the door and got out of the vehicle as the trooper initiated the stop. The trooper observed signs of impairment and instructed Spencer to return to his car, which he did. Upon contact, the trooper smelled a strong odor of alcoholic beverages and continued to observe additional signs of impairment. The trooper also noticed the Acura had a shredded front tire and was riding on the rim.
Based on these observations, the trooper conducted Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which revealed further evidence of impairment. Spencer was taken into custody. A computer inquiry revealed that Spencer was under pre-trial conditions prohibiting him from driving or being in control of a vehicle. In addition, the trooper discovered that the vehicle was uninsured, the registration had expired, and Spencer’s driver’s license was revoked.
