An employee of the Delaware River & Bay Authority Police Department in Lewes faces charges following a Georgetown incident.
Ismael Torres Jr., 32, of Georgetown, was arrested by state troopers Friday. Torres was formerly a corporal at the Milton Police Department, where he received several awards for service in the line of duty.
State troopers and investigators with the state Attorney General's Office were assigned the case Nov. 7 after three employees of the Complete Auto Recovery Company in Millsboro filed a complaint against Torres. The employees alleged Torres identified himself as a police officer and threatened to shoot them as they attempted to repossess a 2002 Ford Explorer parked on private property in Georgetown. Detectives said they were told that Torres allegedly made the threats toward the members of the recovery service while demanding that they vacate the property.
Police said the Ford Explorer was in the process of being affixed to a wrecker for repossession. Torres allegedly entered the Ford and drove it away from the recovery equipment, causing one of the straps to hit a member of the recovery service, police said.
Torres was charged with misdemeanor offenses including one count of offensive touching, three counts of terroristic threatening and one count of second-degree reckless endangerment; he was processed and arraigned at Troop 4 and released on $2,050 unsecured bond.
