New Garden Township Police said they took Barbara C. Lane, 42, of Wilmington, into custody as she attempted to leave the bar in the 8900 block of Gap-Newport Pike on Jan. 20. She was charged with simple assault, endangering the welfare of children, driving with a suspended license and related offenses. According to court records, a preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled.
Police want to remind residents that a spate of burglaries is continuing in the township. Typically, once the thieves determine that the home is unoccupied, they force entry, often by kicking in a door or breaking glass. Residents should be on alert for suspicious vehicles and contact police immediately.
