Rehoboth Beach Man Charged in Road Rage Incident

A Rehoboth Beach man has been arrested following a road rage incident Saturday afternoon in Lewes. Delaware State Police were called to the area of Westcoats Road and Coastal Highway for an incident involving a knife. Police say a white male operating a moped stopped in front of a car at a red light on Coastal Highway. The suspect approached the car and threatened to harm the two occupants while holding a knife. The victims called 9-1-1 and the suspect drove off to the south. He was stopped by police a short time later near Airport Road but when he tried to arrest the suspect he ran off on foot crossing Coastal Highway in front of multiple cars.

• Carry a Concealed Dangerous Instrument
• Resisting Arrest

Draine was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and released on a $6,202 unsecured bond.
