SEAFORD, Del. — Delaware State Police arrested a Seaford man Tuesday on multiple felony charges after he was found with drugs and a firearm on the Woodland Ferry.

The incident occurred on October 29 around 4:20 p.m. when troopers responded to a report of a man who appeared unconscious in a Mazda Protégé from the ferry. When they arrived, EMS personnel were already evaluating the driver, identified as Leslie Riggleman, Jr. Riggleman, 51, refused medical treatment, but troopers observed signs of impairment and arrested him without incident.

During a search of Riggleman and his vehicle, troopers discovered approximately 1.17 grams of heroin, drug paraphernalia and a rifle. A background check revealed that Riggleman had two prior DUI convictions, raising the current DUI charge to a felony.

Riggleman was transported to Troop 5 where he was charged with felony DUI, possession of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and felony firearms. After arraignment by Justice of the Peace Court 3, he was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on a $26,500 secured bond.
