Location: Route 13 northbound at the St. Georges Bridge, Middletown, Delaware
Date of Occurrence: Friday, December 04, 2009, at 6:30 a.m.
Suspect(s): Agnes Jenkins, 52, of Cherokee Avenue in Millsboro, Delaware
Resume: State Police Dispatch Center in New Castle County, RECOM, received multiple reports of a reckless driver traveling northbound on Route 13 in Middletown. Patrol officers were provided with the information and they converged on the area and located the vehicle at the St. Georges Bridge. Troopers noticed the vehicle, a Buick Le Sabre, was weaving back and forth. A traffic stop ensued and the Buick pulled over.
The operator of the vehicle was identified as Agnes Jenkins. She showed obvious signs of impairment and bottles of alcohol were observed in the vehicle. A DUI investigation ensued and Ms. Jenkins was subsequently arrested.
A check of her purse yielded suspected marijuana. A computer check also revealed she was also wanted by the Court of Common Pleas on an active capias.
Prior to towing and impounding Ms. Jenkins’ vehicle, the Trooper was trying to work with her to make arrangements to safely secure her dog, which was still in the car, while she was in custody. Ms. Jenkins removed her dog, a hound, from the vehicle; however, she accidentally lost control of the leash. The dog began to run into the northbound lanes of Route 13. The Trooper, who happened to be a K9 officer himself, grabbed the dog to prevent it from being run over at which time the dog turned and bit him on the forearm.
The dog was eventually secured and turned over to the SPCA to be quarantined until its owner was released from custody.
The Trooper was treated and released from Christiana Hospital for his wounds.
Ms. Jenkins was formally charged with DUI, Driving While Suspended, Failure to have Insurance and Possession of Marijuana. She was released without bail on the aforementioned charges and turned over to the Courts in reference to her active capias.

It sounds like the trooper is a good man. He realized that the dog was scared and confused when it bit him, and he got it to a shelter instead of shooting it, which he would have been within his legal rights to do. Now, the impaired criminal driver is another story,....perhaps he could have done us all a favor and gone "Dirty Harry" on her worthless ass before she kills a child or some other innocent person on the highway!
If you think I care more about the wellbeing of animals than I do the "rights" of deliberate criminal humans, well, you are correct!
