A man is facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges following a neighborhood dispute that escalated Saturday evening in New Castle County, according to the New Castle County Division of Police.
Officers were dispatched at approximately 8:19 p.m. on May 2, 2026, to the unit block of Hillside Road, where several individuals reported being confronted during an ongoing dispute. Upon arrival, officers made contact with multiple victims who told police that 37-year-old David Voyton had engaged in a verbal confrontation.
Investigators determined that during the incident, Voyton allegedly shouted insults and, after being instructed to leave the property, displayed a pocketknife and punctured a vehicle tire belonging to one of the victims. Police said the situation continued to escalate as Voyton made additional threats while waving the knife.
Officers later responded to Voyton’s residence, where he reportedly resisted arrest before being taken into custody. A knife was recovered from his pocket.
Voyton was transported to New Castle County Police Headquarters and charged with multiple offenses, including three felony counts of aggravated menacing and one felony count of possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony. Additional charges include three counts each of terroristic threatening and harassment, as well as resisting arrest, criminal mischief under $1,000, and third-degree criminal trespass.
Following arraignment at Justice of the Peace Court 11, Voyton was committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution after failing to post $28,200 secured bail.
