Harrington– The Delaware State Police arrested 55-year-old JEANNE D. ZEBLEY for two counts of aggravated menacing and related charges, according to Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Melissa Jaffe.
Jaffe said the incident occurred on June 14, 2020, at approximately 4:30 p.m., when Troopers were dispatched to the 700 block of Messicks Road in Harington, for a report of shots being fired.
Upon arrival, it was learned that a 12-year-old juvenile was riding his three-wheeler in a field adjacent to Zebley’s property. Zebley exited her home holding a rifle and pointed it in the direction of the victim, while firing at least two rounds, according to Jaffe. The victim responded home and notified his stepfather.
