Troopers Seek Public’s Assistance With Locating Man Wanted for Felony Menacing


Date Posted: Saturday, November 12th, 2022

Delaware State Police are investigating an incident that occurred in Dover yesterday evening where a man threatened another subject with a handgun.

On November 11, 2022, at approximately 9:15 p.m., troopers responded to the Wawa located at 1450 Forest Avenue in Dover regarding an aggravated menacing incident. Troopers contacted the 20-year-old male victim, who advised that he had recently attempted to repossess a vehicle from Mark Morris, 31, of Dover, Delaware. While the victim was at Morris’ residence, Morris approached him, displayed a handgun, and threatened to kill him if he repossessed his vehicle. The victim left the property and traveled to the Wawa to report the incident to the police.

Troopers have attempted to locate Morris but have been unable to do so. Morris currently has several active warrants for his arrest, including a felony criminal warrant issued by Troop 3 for this incident. Morris is described as a white male, approximately 5’11” tall, weighing approximately 360 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

Troopers are asking anyone who has information regarding Morris’ whereabouts to contact Delaware State Police Troop 3 at 302-697-4454, or by calling 9-1-1. Information may also be provided by contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or via the internet at www.delawarecrimestoppers.com.
