A Delaware man is facing several charges after a traffic stop over a driving violation allegedly led to the discovery of a large stash of cocaine and drug paraphernalia in his vehicle.

According to reports, just before 5:00 PM on July 16, someone later identified as a 34-year-old man from Dover was driving an Acura MDX around the Seaford area. A deputy spotted his vehicle as he turned a corner and reportedly failed to use his turn signal.

After initiating a traffic stop, the deputy reported that the driver appeared to be ignoring them since he did not pull over right away. When they got to a dead end, the man stopped and got out of the vehicle. It was reported that the exchange between the driver and the deputy was further complicated when the man allegedly hit him multiple times and ignored the law enforcement officer’s orders when they tried to arrest him. Before he was detained, the man was reportedly able to run away. Within moments, he was caught by the police.
