The New Castle County Division of Police is currently searching for 22-year-old Anthony Houck.

(Wilmington, DE 19808) Earlier this morning (July 15), officers from the New Castle County Division of Police were dispatched to the 400 block of Milltown Road, in the community of Cooper Farms, for a Missing Person Report.  When the officers arrived at the residence they learned that 22-year-old Anthony Houck had left the residence after a verbal dispute.  As he was leaving the residence, he made statements that caused a concern for his welfare.

This statement is in the matter of Taylor Reynolds, a former recruit in the 45th Police academy.

Our primary concern is with the victim of this crime. Taylor Reynolds’ alleged actions contradict the values held by the New Castle County Police.

Although Taylor Reynolds was employed as a recruit and was set to graduate tonight, this incident has halted that process.

As of last night, Taylor Reynolds was placed on administrative leave without pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
