Dover – The Delaware State Police have arrested a Dover woman, in connection with stabbing her boyfriend during a domestic dispute, according to Public Information Officer, Senior Corporal Heather Pepper.
Pepper said the initial incident was reported at approximately 1:42 a.m., Saturday, March 21, 2020. Troopers responded to S.
