Georgetown- Delaware State Police arrest a Georgetown man after an argument led to him obtaining a shotgun.

The incident occurred on Friday, July 27, 2018 at approximately 10:35 p.m. when Troopers were dispatched to the 20000 block of  Donovans Road for a domestic incident.  Upon arrival, Troopers made contact with a 26-year-old female of Georgetown, who advised that 55-year-old Leeron Sabb, pulled into the driveway at the residence and began arguing with his 19-year-old nephew and a 37-year-old male from Georgetown.  The argument escalated into a pushing match, in which the 19-year-old male punched the 37-year-old male, knocking him to the ground.

The 26-year-old female advised that while she was tending to the 37-year-old male, Leeron aggressed towards them, and a struggle ensued on the ground.  While the female was on the ground, the 19-year-old male grabbed her by the neck with both of his hands.

Leeron then proceeded to walk across the street to his residence where he obtained a shotgun.  He aimed the shotgun at the 37-year-old male and threatened to shoot him.

Troopers learned that Leeron Sabb is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition due to a prior violent felony.  He was transported back to Troop 4 where he was charged with Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition by a Person Prohibited, Aggravated Menacing, Possession of a Deadly Weapon by a Person Prohibited, Terroristic Threatening, and Possession of a Firearm While Under the Influence.  He was arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court 3 and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on $81,000.00 cash only bond.

The 19-year-old male was also transported back to Troop 4 where he was charged with Offensive Touching.  He was arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court 3 and released.
