Update – Second Suspect Arrested State Police Arrest Man for Unlawful Imprisonment Charges in Dover; Second Suspect Remains At-Large

Date Posted: Tuesday, July 8th, 2025

The Delaware State Police arrested 36-year-old Coles Khayree of Dover, Delaware, for unlawful imprisonment charges stemming from an incident that occurred at a Walmart in Dover last week.

On June 30, 2025, at approximately 7:35 p.m., troopers responded to the Walmart, located at 36 Jerome Drive, Dover, for a report of a disorderly person. Upon arriving, troopers learned that 2 male suspects, identified as Kevin Caple, and Coles Khayree, arrived at the Walmart in a RAM 3500 truck, and approached an occupied Chevrolet Silverado parked in the fire lane at Walmart. Caple confronted the occupants of the Silverado, a teenager and an infant, and demanded the teenager move the SUV, or he will tow it for being illegally parked. The teenager did not comply, and expressed she would contact her mother who was in the store. Subsequently, Khayree began loading the SUV onto the RAM’s towing mechanism, and lifted the rear of the SUV several feet off the ground, which scared the 2 children in the SUV. The driver of the SUV arrived, and an argument ensued until troopers arrived.

On July 8, 2025, Khayree turned himself in at Troop 9, where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and released on his own recognizance.
