New Castle- The Delaware State Police have arrested 53-year-old David McIntosh for aggravated menacing and related charges.

The incident occurred on May 16, 2020 at approximately 11:15 a.m., when Troopers were dispatched to the Hollywood Motel, located at 145 S. Dupont Hwy, New Castle, for a report of a domestic.  Upon arrival, Troopers made contact with a 45-year-old female who advised that she had engaged in a verbal argument with her boyfriend, David McIntosh.  McIntosh proceeded to grab a machete and held it towards the victim while threatening to kill her.  McIntosh eventually put the machete down and left the room.  A computer inquiry revealed that McIntosh was in violation of a no unlawful contact order with the victim.  The victim was not injured as a result of this incident.

• Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony
