Troopers Attempting to Locate Wanted Suspect Steven L. McCormick Jr.

The Delaware State Police are attempting to locate Steven L. McCormick Jr., 22 of Salisbury, Maryland who is wanted on domestic related assault charges and reckless endangering of responding troopers.
On Thursday, February 28, 2019, a physical domestic incident occurred on Boyd Drive, Magnolia between Steven L. McCormick Jr. and his girlfriend. During the incident the suspect punched her multiple times and prevented her from contacting 9-1-1 by damaging her phone. McCormick then fled the scene in a stolen vehicle; a 2010 gray Ford Fusion.
On the same date the stolen vehicle was seen at Walgreens located at 9202 Commercial Drive, Bridgeville, Delaware.  As the first trooper arrived on scene and attempted to exit the patrol vehicle, the suspect drove at the trooper and slammed into the passenger side compartment of the patrol vehicle. The trooper exited the patrol vehicle and began giving commands and the driver continued to ram the rear of the stolen vehicle into the side of the patrol vehicle in an attempt to prevent capture. The trooper sustained minor injuries.
Another trooper arrived on scene and exited his patrol vehicle to assist when the suspect then recklessly drove the stolen vehicle in the direction of the trooper causing him to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. McCormick fled the scene and was observed traveling on Sussex Highway in the area of Bridgeville Road. A computer check revealed his Maryland driver’s license was suspended.
Warrants are on file charging Steven L. McCormick Jr. with the following:
  • Theft of Motor Vehicle
  • Malicious Interference with Emergency Communication
  • Offensive Touching
  • Two counts of Criminal Mischief
  • Two counts of Reckless Endangering
  • Resisting Arrest
  • Vehicular Assault
  • Drive Without a Licence
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Steven L. McCormick Jr. is asked to contact Troop 4 at 302-752-3806 or by calling 911. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware crime stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or via the internet athttp://www.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com

Northwest Woodsman: Those troopers would have been totally justified to do a mag dump on this male “usual” that was attempting to kill them. That kind of restraint might get the support of certain elements of society, however, it is a sure formula for getting officers killed. I do not applaud their actions here. It wa simply dangerous.

Throw the book at him for attempt of murder he was not looking to just avoid he made a conscious effort to cause fatal harm. This is a loose cannon someday if not incarcerated he will kill.

Man O Man, The Salisbury barracks officers would have shot him dead after the first hit on the police cruiser. Delaware SP must have a much different policy when it comes to using deadly force. Maryland cops are all pussys that fear for their lives when a suspect looks at them wrong. They HAVE to use that gun, even if the suspect is unarmed. Maryland cops LIKE killing suspects, as long as they claim they are scaredy cats in fear of their lives.
