Date Posted: Thursday, March 14th, 2024

The Delaware State Police arrested 49-year-old Anthony Dollson, of Trenton, New Jersey, for numerous drug charges following a vehicle and foot pursuit that took place last night in Magnolia.

On March 13, 2024, at approximately 11:42 p.m., troopers on patrol saw a green Chrysler 300 with an equipment violation traveling northbound on Peachtree Run at Walnut Shade Road in Magnolia. Troopers pulled the Chrysler over on Walnut Shade Road and the driver, later identified as Anthony Dollson, made a U-turn, and sped off from the traffic stop leading to a vehicle pursuit. Dollson turned off the headlights and drove eastbound on Walnut Shade Road. Eventually the car hit a curb when turning onto Rising Sun Road and became disabled. After the Chrysler came to a stop, Dollson got out from the driver's side of the Chrysler and ran. After a foot pursuit, he was taken into custody. A passenger was detained following the pursuit but released.
