Delaware State Police have taken a 33-year-old Dover resident into custody on felony charges after her fifth arrest for driving under the influence, along with drug possession and multiple traffic violations.<\/p>\n
Mirna Lopez was stopped by a state trooper early Monday morning around 4:40 a.m. after her Hyundai Santa Fe was observed traveling at excessive speeds heading north on Bay Road close to Transportation Circle. When the officer approached Lopez during the traffic stop, she displayed clear indicators of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Following standard sobriety testing procedures, Lopez failed the tests and was placed under arrest for impaired driving. While conducting a routine inventory of her vehicle, authorities discovered roughly .20 grams of cocaine.<\/p>\n
Records revealed that Lopez has been previously convicted on four separate DUI-related offenses, making this latest incident a felony charge.<\/p>\n
Following her arrest, Lopez was transported to Troop 3 headquarters where she faced multiple charges. She appeared before Justice of the Peace Court 7 for arraignment and was subsequently sent to the Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution with bail set at $8,000 cash.<\/p>\n
The charges against Lopez include: 5th Offense DUI (Felony), Possess, Consume a Controlled or Counterfeit Substance Except Human Growth Hormone Without a Prescription, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Driving while Suspended or Revoked, Speeding, and Failure to Have Insurance Identification in Possession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
