Millsboro- Delaware State Police have arrested 33-year-old, Nicole P. Pezold of Lewes on felony domestic-related charges.
On May 29, 2020, at approximately 1925 hours, Troopers were dispatched to the 25000 block of Teal Court in Millsboro, DE, for a domestic incident. Upon arrival, Troopers made contact with the 34-year-old male victim, who was Pezold’s ex-boyfriend. The investigation determined Pezold, the victim, and their two children went on a day trip so Pezold could spend time with the children. During their outing, Pezold and the victim became engaged in a verbal argument that escalated to a physical altercation.
