Wilmington, DE – The Delaware State Police apprehended a 47-year-old man, identified as Jamal Wing from Wilmington, Delaware, for multiple charges, including felony resisting arrest, assaulting troopers, and driving under the influence.
The arrest followed a traffic stop that occurred in Wilmington early Sunday morning.
At approximately 1:41 a.m., a patrolling trooper observed a black 2021 Toyota Camry exceeding the speed limit while traveling southbound on Philadelphia Pike near Rolling Road.
The trooper initiated a traffic stop, and the Camry came to a halt in a nearby parking lot. Surprisingly, Wing, the driver of the Camry, exited the vehicle without being instructed to do so and disregarded all commands to return to his car.
Against law enforcement’s instructions, Wing forcefully resisted arrest when troopers, accompanied by a Delaware State Police K9, attempted to detain him. During the altercation, Wing repeatedly bit the DSP K9. However, after a brief struggle, Wing was eventually taken into custody.
Troopers noticed the smell of alcohol on Wing’s breath and observed signs of impairment. Due to the injuries Wing sustained while resisting arrest, he was transported to a local hospital by Emergency Medical Service for medical attention. Shockingly, Wing continued to resist and assaulted a trooper while at the hospital, causing injury to the trooper and damaging Delaware State Police property.
As a result of the incident, two troopers and the DSP K9, named Mako, sustained injuries and required medical evaluation at a nearby hospital.
