Delaware State Police have taken a 42-year-old Dover resident into custody on multiple felony charges, including her fifth driving under the influence offense, after a vehicle collision in Felton.
Authorities identified the suspect as Ashley Green following the incident that occurred on April 21, 2026, around 12:15 p.m. A concerned citizen flagged down a state trooper to report that a red car had collided with a pole along Main Street in Felton. Upon investigation, the officer discovered a red Chevrolet HHR that had crashed into a mailbox and come to rest on the curb near the intersection of Main Street and Dundee Road.
When the trooper made contact with Green, who was behind the wheel, she appeared to be engaged in a phone conversation, though officers determined no one was actually on the other end of the call. The suspect displayed multiple indicators of intoxication, according to police reports. Green became combative when ordered to step out of her vehicle and physically fought against officers’ attempts to arrest her. During the struggle, authorities deployed a taser, but Green continued to resist and allegedly spat on multiple troopers before they could successfully place her in custody.
A background investigation revealed that Green has been convicted of four previous DUI-related offenses, making this her fifth such charge.
Following her arrest, Green was transported to Troop 3 headquarters for processing. She appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 7 for arraignment and was subsequently ordered held at the Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution under a $12,003 secured bond.
The charges filed against Green include:
- 5th Offense Driving a Vehicle under the Influence of any Drug (Felony)
- Resisting Arrest with Force or Violence (Felony)
- Offensive Touching of Another with Saliva, Urine, Feces, or Other Bodily Fluid – 4 counts
- Crash Related Traffic Charges
