Millsboro- Delaware State Police arrested 48-year-old Theodore A. Guajardo of Millsboro on felony criminal charges following an incident Sunday night.
On October 25, 2020, at approximately 9:53 p.m., Delaware State Police responded to William Street for a disorderly subject. Through the investigation, troopers discovered Guajardo was intoxicated and would not leave the residence when asked by the resident.
