Lincoln- The Delaware State Police have arrested 39-year-old, Jason Evans of Milford on felony domestic-related charges, according to Public Information Officer, Corporal/1 Jason Hatchell.
Hatchell said on August 21, 2020, at approximately 10:00 p.m., Troopers were dispatched to the area of Cedar Creek Road and Heritage Road in Lincoln, for a reported stabbing inside of a vehicle during a domestic incident. Upon arrival, Troopers located the suspect vehicle on the shoulder of the roadway southbound Cedar Creek Road north of Jefferson Road and made contact with a 40-year-old female victim from Milford.
The victim was located outside of the vehicle bleeding with apparent lacerations to her head and face. Troopers also observed there was a male, later identified as suspect- Jason Evans, seated unconscious in the front passenger seat of the vehicle from an apparent overdose.
