Millsboro- Delaware State Police arrested 25-year-old Rahman K. Miller of Millsboro on criminal and traffic charges after attempting to flee from troopers and crashing into a police car.

On December 2, 2020, at approximately 12:29 p.m., Delaware State Police attempted to make contact and arrest Rahman Miller at the BP Station located at 32369 Long Neck Road, Millsboro, for an active warrant out of Sussex County Superior Court. As troopers observed Miller exit the store and return to his vehicle at the gas pumps, a Delaware State Police divisional vehicle activated its emergency lights and pulled in front of Miller’s car.
