Narrative:
The Dover Police Department arrested Marquise Bennett (25) on gun charges on Thursday evening. Officers responded to the parking lot of Royal Farms located at 293 Saulsbury Road for a report of an altercation where a male subject (Bennett) was in possession of a gun. Officers arrived and observed Bennett and a 32-year-old male subject engaged in a physical altercation inside the vestibule of the business. When the men were confronted by the officers, the 32-year-old male threw a 9mm handgun to the ground. Both men were detained without incident at that time.
The investigation into the incident revealed that Bennett and the other male subject were involved in a verbal argument inside of the business. When the male subject exited the store, Bennett followed and brandished a 9mm handgun which was inside of a satchel he was carrying. A physical struggle ensured over control of the gun, causing it to discharge once, and ending in the business’ vestibule. Officers located the handgun, a spent shell casing, and Bennett’s satchel that also contained 19.5 grams of marijuana.
Bennett was committed to SCI on a $79,100 secured bond on the following offenses:
-Possession of Firearm During Commission of Felony
