Selbyville man arrested for pointing gun at individuals

SELBYVILLE, Del. – Delaware State Police arrested a Selbyville man on aggravating menacing charges after he reportedly pulled out a gun on four people Wednesday afternoon.

Shortly after 1:30 p.m., troopers responded to Lincoln Street for a report of a subject displaying a rifle style firearm at four subjects on the property. It was determined that a 20-year-old female was seated in the driver seat of her vehicle parked in the driveway of a residence on Lincoln Street when a white Audi pulled up to her driver’s side window.

The driver, identified as 22-year-old Demetrius Jenkins, asked the female if a family member of hers was at the residence. As she told Jenkins the family member was not home, a second vehicle pulled into the driveway on the other side of Jenkins’ vehicle. The vehicle, which was occupied by a 38-year-old female, 20-year-old female, and a 35-year-old male, continued speaking with Jenkins when he reportedly pulled out what appeared to be a black AR-15 style rifle and pointed it at each subject while asking them if they threw a rock at his vehicle.

Jenkins fled the scene after the incident, but was taken into custody on Thursday and was charged with four counts of aggravated menacing. He was held at SCI on a $10,000 secured bond.
