Delaware State Police have arrested 18-year-old Adam Green of Felton, Delaware, for theft of a motor vehicle Friday morning.

On September 12, 2025, at approximately 6:30 a.m., troopers responded to a residence on Cabin Ridge Road in Felton for a report of a stolen car. Upon arriving, troopers learned a 2016 Dodge Journey had been stolen from the driveway overnight, with the keys left inside. A credit card inside the car was also used to make an unauthorized purchase. Through investigative means, troopers identified Adam Green as the suspect. At approximately 10:51 a.m., troopers were notified that the reported stolen car was at a residence on Nathaniel Mitchell Road in Dover. Troopers responded, took Green into custody without incident, and recovered the Dodge and keys. A computer check revealed that Green failed to follow the court order curfew and had cut off his GPS ankle monitor during the early hours.

Green was taken to Troop 3, where he was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $3,501 cash bond.
