The Delaware State Police have arrested Gloria Williams, 72, of New Castle, DE, in connection with a stabbing that took place at the Hollywood Motel.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at approximately 9:30 p.m. at the Hollywood Motel located at 145 South Dupont Highway, New Castle. The investigation revealed a 57-year-old victim engaged in a verbal argument with Williams over a suspected theft. The argument escalated and eventually turned physical. After the subjects were separated, a short period later the victim attempted to throw William’s walker in the dumpster. During this action, Williams produced a knife and stabbed the victim in the upper extremity. The victim was treated at an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Upon troopers’ arrival Williams still had the knife in her hand. The knife was recovered, and Williams was taken into custody without incident.

Williams was transported back to Troop 6 where she was charged with the following crimes:

• Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony (Felony)
• Assault 2^nd Degree (Felony)

Williams was arraigned in the Justice of the Peace Court #11 and committed to the Delores J. Baylor Correctional Institution on $30,000 secured bond.
