Delaware State Police arrested 61-year-old Oscar Johnson of Salisbury, Maryland, on felony DUI and drug charges following a traffic stop late Wednesday night.
On October 22, 2025, at approximately 11:00 p.m., a trooper observed a BMW with Maryland registration speeding on Delmar Road. The vehicle failed to maintain its lane, crossing onto the shoulder and into the grass. Troopers initiated a traffic stop and contacted the driver, identified as Oscar Johnson, who showed signs of impairment and emitted a strong odor of alcoholic beverages.
While troopers conducted Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, Johnson displayed additional signs of impairment. During the traffic stop, troopers observed him attempting to kick a clear plastic bag under his vehicle. The bag was recovered and found to contain a white, rock-like substance consistent with crack cocaine. Troopers also located a pill bottle containing a white powdery substance.
Johnson was taken into custody and transported to Troop 5, where the substances tested positive for cocaine with a combined weight of approximately 105 grams. A computer inquiry revealed that Johnson had two prior DUI-related convictions. A blood search warrant was obtained, and he was subsequently charged with the following offenses:
- Possession with Intent to Deliver a Controlled Substance Tier 3 Quantity (Felony)
- 3rd Offense DUI (Felony)
- Tampering with Physical Evidence (Felony)
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
- Driving without a Valid License
- Multiple Traffic Offenses
Johnson was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 7 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $30,106 secured bond at the time.
