Good morning, Dover.

Delaware State Police arrested 61-year-old Magnolia man Anthony McLeish on his 9th DUI felony offense after he showed signs of impairment and failed field tests during a traffic stop in Dover on Saturday—he fled on foot, resisted arrest by kicking a trooper, suffered minor injuries, and now faces several charges while held at Sussex Correctional Institution on a $43,150 cash bond.

Dover Police are asking neighbors to share any information on the June 14 fatal shooting that killed 22-year-old Daniel Guzman Jr. on Barrister Place and injured four others+ investigators believe even a small detail could help solve the case; anyone with tips should call 302-736-7141.
