Fight at Lewes Wawa Results in Arrest of Millsboro Man

Lewes, DE – Troopers have arrested a Millsboro man after a large fight broke out in the Lewes Wawa.

Troopers responded to the Wawa Food Market located at 17663 Dartmouth Road around 1:44 a.m. this morning after a 9-1-1 call was made from a store employee stating a large crowd had gathered and several subjects were fighting inside. A trooper first on scene, entered the store and made contact with a subject, who was later identified as Reginald D. McGlotten, 28 of Millsboro, acting in a disorderly manner and yelling profanities. The trooper advised McGlotten, who appeared to be intoxicated, to leave the store but he refused. As the trooper attempted to take McGlotten into custody, a physical struggle ensued between the two resulting in McGlotten being forced to the ground. While the trooper attempted to restrain McGlotten, other individuals began pulling the trooper off him which allowed McGlotten to flee out of the store and run across Coastal Highway. The trooper was able to give chase to McGlotten who was soon captured after a Rehoboth Police Officer assisted by utilizing his departmentally issued Electronic Control Device (Taser) ending the foot pursuit without further incident.

Reginald McGlotten was transported back to Troop 7 where he was formally charged with Felony Resisting Arrest, Conspiracy 2nd, Offensive Touching of a Law Enforcement Officer, and Disorderly Conduct. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $2,750.00 secured bond. McGlotten was also found to be wanted out of multiple courts for capiases.

Troopers are continuing to investigate this incident and are seeking the public's assistance in the identification of the other individuals involved. If anyone has any information in reference to this incident, they are asked to contact Sgt. M. Dawson at 302-644-5020 ext. 267 or by utilizing the Delaware State Police Mobile Crime Tip Application available to download at:http://www.delaware.gov/apps/.
