Delaware State Police arrested 54-year-old Ronnie Annane of New Castle, Delaware, for aggravated menacing following a road rage incident that occurred in Claymont yesterday morning.

On February 28, 2024, at approximately 10:51 a.m., a trooper responded to the Wawa, located at 601 Naamans Road, Claymont, for a report of a road rage incident. Upon making contact with the victim, the trooper learned the victim was involved in a road rage incident on I-95 with a black SUV. After the road rage incident, the black SUV followed the victim as he exited the highway and drove to the Wawa. The black SUV parked behind the victim, and the driver, identified as Ronnie Annane, confronted the victim about cutting him off on the highway. As the argument escalated, Annane returned to his SUV and grabbed a black knife. Annane then walked towards the victim while yelling and holding the unfolded knife behind his back until witnesses intervened. Annane was taken into custody by troopers without incident. A search of his SUV led to the discovery of a black pocketknife that matched the description provided by the victim and witnesses.

Annane was taken to Troop 1, where he was charged with the crimes listed below.

• Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony (Felony)
• Aggravated Menacing (Felony)

Annane was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on a $12,000 unsecured bond.
