 Georgetown, DE- Delaware State Police seek the public’s assistance locating Robert Eye, 50, of Georgetown, who is wanted on multiple felony charges after pointing a gun at an individual Tuesday afternoon. 

On February 15, 2022, troopers responded to the 23000 block of Asbury Road for a weapons complaint. The investigation determined the male resident walked to the camper where it was being stored on the property to check on it. When he opened the camper door, he discovered Robert Eye inside. Robert pointed a handgun at the male, who then ran back inside for cover. It was unknown whether Robert stayed inside the camper after the incident or fled the area. Robert is familiar with the property and has been told before he is not to be there. 

Troopers attempted to get Robert to exit the camper numerous times but were unsuccessful. A search warrant was obtained and executed on the camper by the Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team. However, Robert was not located inside. 

An arrest warrant was obtained for Robert for the following charges:

  • Aggravated Menacing (Felony)
  • Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony (Felony)
  • Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited (Felony)
  • Trespass 3rd Degree

A computer inquiry also determined Robert has an active arrest warrant out of Delaware State Police Troop 5. 

Robert Eye is described as a white male, 50-year-old, 6’00” tall, approximately 196 lbs., brown eyes, and brown hair. Robert may currently be located in Sussex County.
