Marydel/Felton- The Delaware State Police have arrested two suspects following a shots fired complaint.

The incident occurred on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at approximately 1:17 p.m., when Troopers were dispatched to the 300 block of Grygo Road, Marydel for a shots fired compliant.  Upon arrival, Troopers learned that Anthony Jones, 44 of Smyrna, had responded to the residence looking for his ex-girlfriend who was not there at the time.  Prior to leaving the residence, Jones had discharged a firearm that he was carrying, striking the exterior of the house.  Jones fled the scene in a Honda Civic.

Troopers located the vehicle at the intersection of Holly Spring Road and Willow Grove Road, where a traffic stop was initiated.  Contact was made with three occupants in the vehicle, the driver, Angela D. Greenwood, 43, of Clayton, Anthony Jones, who was a front seat passenger, and a 39 year old male from Marydel who was a rear seat passenger.  All three occupants were detained without incident.

  • a loaded .45 caliber handgun with six rounds in the magazine
  • a box containing (40) .45 auto rounds

Further investigation revealed that the suspects had responded to a second residence in the 600 block of Equitation Lane, Felton, where Jones was again looking for his ex-girlfriend, who was not there either.  Prior to leaving this residence, the suspects slashed all four tires and smashed out all of the windows to a vehicle that was parked in the driveway.
