State Police Arrest Pennsylvania Man in Road Rage Incident

Date Posted: Wednesday, September 17th, 2025

Delaware State Police arrested 30-year-old Robert George, of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, following a road rage incident that occurred on Monday evening in Wilmington.

On September 15, 2025, at approximately 6:00 p.m., troopers were contacted by a 45-year-old Wilmington man who reported a road rage encounter on Concord Pike in the area of Concord Mall.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was traveling southbound in the left lane of Concord Pike when a Chevrolet Colorado, driven by George, accelerated and abruptly changed into the same lane, cutting off the victim’s vehicle. Both vehicles continued toward the intersection of Concord Pike and Rocky Run Boulevard, where George entered the left-turn lane to access Widener University Delaware Law School.

The victim pulled alongside George’s vehicle, and a verbal exchange took place between the two. During the encounter, George displayed a firearm, prompting the victim to contact the police. After the light turned green, George turned into the university’s parking lot.

Troopers responded to the scene and located the suspect’s vehicle, which was unoccupied. A short time later, George was observed exiting a building on campus and returning to his vehicle. Troopers conducted a traffic stop, during which George was detained without incident. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a handgun and a valid concealed carry permit. The victim later positively identified George in a photo lineup.

George was taken to Troop 1, where he was charged with the offenses listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $25,000 secured bond.
