WGMD News is reporting that former State Rep. John Atkins (R then D for the 41st District) was arrested by Delaware State Police on Friday night for offensive touching and criminal mischief.
Police tell WGMD the 38 year-old female victim (Atkins’ ex-girlfriend) had given Atkins permission to remove his property from her residence on Evelynton Road in Lewes, but when she returned home and discovered he had taken other items as well, an arugment ensued. The woman got into Atkins’ vehicle and began striking his property in an attempt to damage it, and Atkins then pushed her against her own vehicle. He damaged her vehicle by kicking it before driving away. He later reported to Troop 7 in Lewes where he was charged and later released on a $1,000 unsecured bond.
I would say this should finally end his political career, but given his history, it won’t.
