A Preston man and two 17 year olds from Cambridge and Delmar have been arrested by Delaware State Police on multiple felony gun offenses. The arrest comes after an investigation Wednesday night in Bridgeville after police were called to McDonald’s for a report of individuals in a white car allegedly waving firearms at patrons. Police located a white Mazda with three males in the parking lot – one walked away from the scene – and police followed his path and located a firearm with an extended magazine hidden between parked vehicles. The 17 year old from Cambridge was arrested after a foot chase. The other 17 year old, from Delmar, also tried to run off and was arrested after a struggle with police – a loaded firearm was recovered from his waistband. The rear passenger, 36 year old Dion Garner of Preston was arrested – a loaded firearm found in a bag on the floor by his feet. The firearm was found to be stolen from Pennsylvania. All three face multiple offenses.
