KENT COUNTY -

On June 25, Delaware Capitol Police arrested Wayne Dickerson, 70, of Bridgeville, following his attempt to enter the Kent County Courthouse with a knife.

Dickerson was carrying a knife with a blade of approximately 2 1/2 inches long.

Police said Dickerson, who was not permitted beyond the Capitol Police security checkpoint, threw the knife as he exited the building striking a 5-year-old child. The child suffered two lacerations to the hand.

Two other juveniles were present when the victim was struck but were not injured.  Dickerson was arrested for second-degree assault (felony) and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.    Dickerson was arraigned at JP Court #7 and released on $800 unsecured bond.
