A Wilmington woman was arrested early Sunday morning on firearms-related charges after a dispute at a Newark restaurant.
At around 1 a.m., Newark Police were dispatched to a restaurant in the 800 block of South College Avenue. The restaurant was not identified. The two restaurants on that block are Mad Macs and a McDonald's.
Officers detained Deja Thompson, 28. Officers learned that Thompson was involved in an argument with another individual inside the restaurant and grabbed that person by the neck.
Witnesses reported seeing Thompson in possession of a handgun and was reportedly waving it in the direction of a crowd inside the establishment.
Following the incident, officers learned that Thompson had hidden the firearm beneath a vehicle in the parking lot. The weapon was located and seized.
Thompson was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court #11, was held on $70,000 cash bail and was issued a No Contact Order with the victim.
She was taken to the the Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution, New Castle.
