"The Delaware State Police initiated an internal investigation as soon as we became of the incident as per divisional policy," Delaware State Police said in a statement.
Buckley is charged with resisting arrest, driving at an unreasonable speed, and failure to have insurance identification and registration. An arraignment is scheduled for March 18.
