Man charged after illegally entering home to hide from police following pursuit in Delaware
Delaware State Police arrested Jacob Singleton, 24, of Middletown, Delaware, for multiple felony offenses.
NEWARK, D.E. – A 24-year-old man is facing multiple charges after police say he led officers to a pursuit in Newark on Sunday.
Delaware State Police arrested Jacob Singleton, 24, of Middletown, Delaware, for multiple felony offenses.
On Sunday at around 2:23 p.m., a trooper assisting a disabled motorist on Salem Church Road near East Chestnut Hill Road observed a black Mazda run a red light.
With emergency lights already activated, the trooper attempted to stop the vehicle, but it sped away, leading to a pursuit.
Police say the Mazda drove recklessly through several streets in Newark, prompting the trooper to discontinue the pursuit for the safety of other motorists.

Shortly thereafter, troopers patrolling the area located the Mazda parked in a driveway on Montrose Drive, at what they described as “dangerously close” to an occupied residence.
A resident then flagged down the troopers and said that the driver, later identified as Jacob Singleton, had unlawfully entered their home and was hiding in the bathroom.
Troopers found Singleton in the bathroom, and he resisted arrest, resulting in injuries to one of the troopers.
Singleton was taken into custody without further incident.
The injured trooper was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a nearby hospital and later released.
Singleton was charged with assault 2nd on law enforcement officer causing injury (felony), reckless endangering 1st degree (felony) – 3 counts, burglary (felony), resisting arrest with force causing injury to peace officer (felony), disregarding a police officer’s signal (felony), multiple traffic violations.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo woman has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with vandalism at The Terrace at Delaware Park in October 2025.
The Erie County District Attorney’s Office announced that 40-year-old Stacy M. Matthews pleaded guilty before Buffalo City Court Judge Rebecca Town to one count of fourth-degree criminal mischief and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
Erie County District Attorney’s Office
According to the DA, on October 16, 2025, Matthews drove six juveniles under her care to a business on Lincoln Parkway, and the juveniles, between the ages of 10 and 16, intentionally vandalized outdoor furniture and windows, causing approximately $2,000 in damage to the property.
The DA said that as a condition of the plea, Matthews signed a Confession of Judgment to pay $2,000 in restitution to the victim. Matthews faces a maximum of 364 days in jail when she is sentenced on June 9, 2026 and a temporary order of protection, issued on behalf of the property owner, remains in effect.
7 News spoke with Mike Shatzel, co-owner of The Terrace at Delaware Park, where the vandalism occurred, last October.
“It’s just disturbing that people have nothing better to do than come and just destroy things,” Shatzel said in October.
