The Delaware State Police have arrested a Pennsylvania man on multiple felony charges following a reported road rage incident in Kent County.
Authorities identified the suspect as 38-year-old Jeffrey Neifert, of New Ringgold, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred at approximately 9:40 a.m. on April 20, 2026, when the Kent County 9-1-1 Center received a report of a road rage confrontation involving a firearm on South Dupont Highway near Killens Pond Road in Felton, Delaware.
According to investigators, a trooper located a Dodge Ram pickup truck matching the suspect vehicle description a short time later and initiated a traffic stop. Neifert was identified as the driver. During the investigation, troopers recovered a switchblade from his person and a loaded handgun from inside the vehicle.
The preliminary investigation determined that Neifert allegedly displayed a handgun during a confrontation with another driver while traveling on South Dupont Highway near Irish Hill Road.
