Resume: 

Lincoln- The Delaware State Police have arrested two teenage subjects after they fired several shots from a sawed off shotgun early Friday morning in Lincoln, DE.

 

The incident began at approximately 3:00 a.m. on Friday, August 5, 2011 as Treyvon Bowman and Cory Mitchell, both 17 years of age, responded to a residence located in the 9000 block of Green Top Road in Lincoln, looking for a subject who Bowman had been having an on-going dispute with. Bowman then produced a sawed off shotgun and fired two rounds while standing in the front yard of the residence. Nothing was struck and there were no injuries. Bowman then fled from the residence in a Jeep Cherokee which was being operated by Cory Mitchell.

 

A short time later, Mitchell and Bowman arrived at a residence located in the 8000 block of Virginia Pine Road, in Lincoln, looking for the same subject. However they left without confronting the subject. At approximately 4:15 a.m. Mitchell and Bowman returned to the Greely Avenue residence in the Jeep Cherokee. Bowman then exited the vehicle and again fired several shots from the sawed off shotgun while standing in the front yard. Nothing was struck and there were no injuries. Bowman and Mitchell then fled from the residence.

 

Responding Troopers were able to locate the Jeep Cherokee a short time later at Cory Mitchell’s residence located in the 18000 block of Green Lee Street in Lincoln.  Both he and Treyvon Bowman were taken into custody without incident. A search of the Jeep yielded a sawed off shotgun, a set of brass knuckles, a knife, a baseball bat, and several shotgun shells.

 

Cory Mitchell and Treyvon Bowman were arrested and charged with the above list of crimes. They were both arraigned at the Sussex County Family Court. Treyvon Bowman was issued a $13,300 secured bail. Cory Mitchell was issued a $34,400 secured bail. It is unknown if either defendant was able to post bail at this time.
