Milton- The Delaware State Police arrested 36-year-old TERRON L. BROWN for aggravated menacing and related charges after he threatened his ex-wife with a rifle, according to Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Melissa Jaffe.
Jaffe said the incident occurred on July 13, 2020, at approximately 12:19 a.m., when Troopers were dispatched to a residence in the 28000 block of Fisher Road in Milton, for a domestic-related incident. Further investigation revealed that Brown had engaged in a verbal argument with his ex-wife when he obtained a rifle from the bedroom closet, according to Jaffe. Brown then threatened to kill the victim, added Jaffe. The 39-year-old victim was able to leave the residence unharmed.
Upon the Trooper’s arrival, Brown was located outside the residence walking in the wooded area and taken into custody without incident. A search of the residence led to the discovery of multiple rounds of ammunition, however, the rifle was not located. A computer inquiry revealed that Brown is a person prohibited from possessing a firearm, said Jaffe. He was transported back to Troop 7 where he was charged with the following:
Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony
