Delaware State Police have taken a 64-year-old Felton resident into custody on felony charges after what authorities say was his fifth drunk driving offense. Whitey Moore was apprehended Saturday afternoon during a traffic stop in the Camden-Wyoming area.
The incident unfolded around 2:00 p.m. on January 10, 2026, when a state trooper noticed a GMC Sierra swerving between lanes while traveling west on Henry Cowgill Road near Dundee Road. Upon running the vehicle’s registration, officers discovered the license plate was not properly registered, prompting the traffic stop.
When the trooper approached Moore’s vehicle, the driver displayed clear indicators of being under the influence of alcohol. A subsequent vehicle search uncovered several empty alcoholic beverage containers. Officers transported Moore to Troop 3 headquarters, where his condition remained consistent with alcohol impairment, leading authorities to secure a warrant for blood testing.
Records checks revealed Moore’s extensive history with impaired driving violations, showing four previous DUI convictions on his record. Additionally, his driving privileges had been suspended at the time of Saturday’s arrest.
Following his arraignment at Justice of the Peace Court 7, Moore now faces multiple charges including fifth-offense DUI as a felony, operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked license, and several additional traffic violations. He remains incarcerated at Sussex Correctional Institution with bail set at $5,700 cash.
