Police: Jealous woman pepper sprays boyfriend
STANTON, Del. — Delaware State Police said a woman who believed her boyfriend had been cheating on her followed him to a Stanton bank lobby, where she pepper-sprayed him. The man told police that he had argued with the 24-year-old woman at home and she followed him when he left. She wouldn’t let him get on a bus and he ran to the bank and held the door closed so she couldn’t get in.
Police said the woman managed to get in and began discharging the pepper spray. Police said the man felt a burning sensation and had trouble breathing and seeing and a bank patron and two employees also reported having watery eyes, a sore throat and trouble breathing.
The woman was charged with four counts of felony assault and one count of disorderly conduct.
