Delaware State Police reported that on March 14 at 12:07 p.m., troopers responded to a Royal Farms located at 1031 South Market Street.

A store employee confronted Andino, who initially left but then returned armed with a box cutter, engaging in a heated argument. The situation quickly turned aggressive when Andino threw the drink at the employee before attempting to leave again. However, he returned once more, this time brandishing the weapon and directly confronting the worker. A physical struggle ensued before police arrived and took Andino into custody.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported among employees or customers.
