On Tuesday January 19, 2010 Delaware State Police received an anonymous call regarding a domestic that occurred on Saturday January 16, 2010. Delaware State Police responded to the 26000 block of Line Road Seaford and contacted the 56 year old female victim.

State Police learned that on Saturday January 16, 2010 around 9:00 P.M. Raymond M. Cook came home allegedly drunk and disorderly and began pulling items out of their refrigerator creating a disturbance. Cook then turned to the victim and gestured with his fingers the shape of a gun and advised he would do harm to the victim. The victim attempted to call 911 for police service when Cook began to chase her around the residence. Cook grabbed the victim’s hand and took the phone away. Cook next broke the phone rendering it useless. Cook then removed the victim from the residence and locked her outside. The victim later was able to gain access back into the residence without further incident.


State Police on Tuesday January 19, 2010 contacted Raymond Cook at his residence. Cook at the time was driving a tractor and refused commands of officers to exit from the tractor. Cook had to be physically removed and taken into custody.


State Police later discovered Cook had guns in his residence one of which was a sawed off shotgun illegal in the State of Delaware. Cook was later arrested on the above listed offenses.
