(Newark, DE 19711) — On Friday, November 7, 2025, at approximately 12:30 a.m., an Officer with the New Castle County Division of Police was patrolling in the area of Meadowood Drive and Kirkwood Highway when he observed a black sedan speeding through the intersection.

The officer activated his patrol vehicle’s emergency equipment to initiate a traffic stop; however, the driver—later identified as 26-year-old Julian Davis of Newark—failed to stop. Davis began recklessly passing vehicles in both the right and left lanes while committing numerous additional traffic violations. Davis lost control of his car, struck a guardrail, but managed to regain control and continued driving toward Possum Park Road—this time traveling on the wrong side of the roadway at speeds well in excess of the posted limit. Moments later, he lost control, crashing into a pole and trees. Officers quickly took Davis into custody and immediately observed signs of impairment. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was treated and released for minor injuries.

Following his release, Davis was taken to police headquarters, where he was charged with the following offenses:

• Disregarding a Police Officer’s Signal
• Aggressive Driving
• Leaving the Scene of a Property Collision Accident
• Criminal Mischief over $1000
• Driving a Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol
• Multiple Additional Traffic Infractions

Davis was arraigned by the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on his own recognizance.
