Domestic incident leads to numerous charges for Md. man

MILFORD, Del. – Delaware State Police arrested an Upper Marlboro man Sunday evening following a domestic incident in Milford.

At around 9 p.m., troopers responded to Thawley Lane for a report of a domestic related burglary. On arrival, a 31-year-old female victim told police that a verbal argument broke out while she and her two children were in a vehicle with her boyfriend, 29-year-old Kyle Gibbons. The argument escalated when Gibbons reportedly strangled the victim and refused to let her leave the vehicle, driving her and her children to the children’s father’s home on Thawley Lane.

The children were able to get out of the vehicle and were not injured.

Gibbons initially left the area after dropping off the victim and children, but later returned and tried to break into the home on Thawley Lane while it was unoccupied. Police say he kicked in the front door and entered for a short time, and on his way out kicked the overhead garage door and damaged it.

Gibbons was found in his vehicle in the parking lot of Bayhealth Sussex a short time later. He was arrested and charged with second degree burglary, strangulation, unlawful imprisonment, criminal mischief, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and is currently being held at the Sussex Correctional Institution on $21,000 secured bond.
