A traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle a short time later with the operator identified as Eli VELASQUEZ. During the initial encounter with VELASQUEZ, Christiana Borough Police observed several signs of intoxication.

After VELASQUEZ blew a positive reading on a PBT (Preliminary Breath Test), VELASQUEZ was placed under arrest for the listed charges.
