The Dover Police Department arrested two suspects following a motor vehicle accident on Sunday afternoon that led to a large crowd becoming disorderly with several officers. At approximately 4:43PM on Sunday, September 29th, officers responded to the area of College Road, just west of Delaware State University, near Jason Street for a vehicle accident. A Cheswold Police Officer was also in the area and stopped to assist. During the investigation of the incident, officers attempted to take Chelsea Lawrence (22) and Kyshief Campbell into custody.
