Police: He Cut Off Ankle Monitor Before Stealing Vehicle

Delaware State Police have arrested 18-year-old Adam Green of Felton, Delaware, for theft of a motor vehicle, Friday morning.

Officials said on September 12, 2025, at approximately 6:30 a.m., troopers responded to a residence on Cabin Ridge Road in Felton for a report of a stolen car. Upon arriving, troopers learned a 2016 Dodge Journey had been stolen from the driveway overnight, with the keys left inside. A credit card inside the car was also used to make an unauthorized purchase, according to police.

Just before 11:00 am, troopers were notified that the reported stolen car was at a residence on Nathaniel Mitchell Road in Dover. Troopers responded and took the Green into custody without incident. They recovered the Dodge and keys, police added.

A computer check showed that Green failed to follow a court order curfew and had cut off his GPS ankle monitor during the early that day.

Green was taken to Troop 3, where he was charged with Theft of a Motor Vehicle (Felony), Unlawful Use of Payment Card Under $1500, Breach of Release, and Criminal Trespass 3rd Degree.

He was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $3,501 cash bond.
