WILMINGTON, DE — A Delaware man is facing multiple felony charges after police said he allegedly committed two separate firearm-related road rage incidents on Route 1.
According to Delaware State Police, the first incident occurred February 6 at approximately 3:00 p.m. near Wrangle Hill Road in New Castle.
Investigators said two victims traveling northbound encountered a gray SUV being driven erratically. After a verbal exchange, the driver allegedly pointed a handgun at the victims before leaving the area.
Police reported a second incident occurred March 10 at approximately 5:40 a.m. on southbound Route 1 near Exit 119.
According to investigators, a suspect driving a light gray crossover-style SUV allegedly fired a handgun, striking a black BMW twice. Police said the 46-year-old driver and a passenger were not injured.
Authorities said the Delaware State Police Criminal Investigations Unit identified the suspect vehicle as a gray Nissan Rogue and the driver as 61-year-old Curtis Reed of Wilmington.
Police reported that on March 18, members of the Special Operations Response Team located Reed driving the vehicle in Wilmington and took him into custody without incident.
According to investigators, a search warrant executed on the vehicle allegedly led to the recovery of a loaded handgun concealed inside.
Authorities said Reed was charged in connection with both incidents, including felony counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and aggravated menacing.
Police reported Reed was arraigned on separate cases, receiving a $22,000 unsecured bond for the February 6 incident and $24,600 cash bail for the March 10 incident.
All suspects, arrestees, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
