BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (AP) - Authorities said a machete was found inside the car of a Delaware man who was stopped on the road for displaying a fraudulent vehicle registration plate.
A trooper also discovered drugs, including methamphetamine, inside Jason Eskridge’s vehicle in Bridgeville Tuesday, the Delaware State Police said in a news release.
Officials said the trooper found weapons, including the machete that was concealed between the driver’s seat and the center console. Eskridge, of Seaford, has been prohibited from owning or possessing a deadly weapon due to prior convictions, the release said.
He faces multiple charges, including Possession of a Deadly Weapon by Person Prohibited. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could comment on his behalf.
