We received a tip this evening that there was some sort of physical altercation at County Council the Sussex County GOP offices between Councilman Vance Phillips and Sheriff Jeff Christopher. Georgetown Police were called to the County Council Building by the sheriff. The matter is under investigation by the police and no arrests have been made at this time. Note that during this altercation, one of the people was armed (guess who?).
Phillips and Christopher have been bumping heads since the beginning of the year over the sheriff’s desire to make himself the top lawman in the county, contrary to Delaware law. Phillips is not on-board with the move.
More details as they become available.
