According to the Cape Gazette, Dylan Hoffman, 20, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, was taken into custody by Dewey Beach police on suspicion of having cocaine and a forged identification document.
According to the report, authorities were called about the alleged use of a phony identification document at around 10:56 p.m. on the evening of June 26. When they arrived, they came upon a male suspect who tried to escape on foot. After a brief foot pursuit, Hoffman was apprehended without any additional incidents. Later, he was taken to the local police force.
According to the Cape Gazette, officers found a phony identification document and 7.4 grams of cocaine in Hoffman’s hands. Hoffman eventually complied, despite his initial refusal to give his name or birthdate. Although he refused to take a portable breathalyzer test, authorities were able to smell alcohol, and there is indications that Hoffman may have been under the influence of both cocaine and alcohol.
Hoffman is currently being charged with a number of counts, including resisting arrest, felony narcotics possession, possession of a false identification, and underage alcohol consumption. He was released on his own recognizance after being arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 7.
