COPS: Ethan Edge Over The Line, Twice Legal Limit Leads To Atlantic Avenue Arrest

DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A 24-year-old Boca Raton man is facing a DUI charge after police say he was clocked speeding down West Atlantic Avenue early Sunday and later blew more than twice the legal limit. Ethan Antonio Edge was arrested by Delray Beach Police at about 2:49 a.m. Nov. 8 and charged with DUI with a blood alcohol level of .15 or higher, a misdemeanor.

According to the probable cause affidavit obtained by BocaNewsNow.com, a sergeant running a traffic detail in the 700 block of West Atlantic spotted a blue Toyota SUV heading east at a high rate of speed around 2:20 a.m. Laser clocked it at 46 mph in a 35 mph zone. The SUV pulled into the parking lot at 945 West Atlantic Avenue. Police say Edge smelled strongly of alcohol, had glossy, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech — and his passenger piped up that Edge was the designated driver.

Edge first said he’d had at least two drinks, then three tequilas, according to the report. “I knew I should not have drank,” he allegedly told an officer without being asked. Police say he was emotional and in tears, lost his balance during the walk-and-turn and put his foot down 21 seconds into the one-leg stand. At the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office testing facility, he told officers he’d had four tequila-and-pineapple drinks at Tin Roof and was headed to his grandmother’s house. His breath samples came back at .198 and .190. The legal limit in Florida is .08.

Edge, who is listed in the report as a manager at the Häagen-Dazs on East Atlantic Avenue, was taken to the Palm Beach County jail. He is due in court at the South County Courthouse on Dec. 7.
