Delaware State Police have arrested 18-year-old Samuel Mondestin of Seaford, DE for reckless endangering and other charges following a shooting incident that occurred in the Lincoln area on Wednesday afternoon.

On June 22, 2022 at approximately 3:07 p.m., troopers responded to the 10000 block of Greentop Road for a report of shots fired.

Reckless Endangering First Degree (Felony) – 3 counts
