FLEEING VEHICLE AND FALSE REPORTING LEAD TO TWO ARRESTS

(Newark, DE 19702) On Sunday, January 11, 2026, at approximately 11:30 a.m., an Officer with the New Castle County Division of Police observed a white Chevrolet Cruze commit a traffic violation in the area of Smalleys Dam Road. When the Officer activated the emergency lights on their fully marked New Castle County Police vehicle to initiate a traffic stop, the driver refused to stop and fled, committing several additional traffic violations.

During their investigation, Officers identified the driver involved in the incident as 19-year-old Ironn Collins-Demby of Wilmington. During the follow-up investigation, Officers also contacted 19-year-old Mikayla Munson of Newark, who knowingly provided false information to Officers by reporting the vehicle as stolen just minutes before it was observed committing multiple traffic violations. The vehicle, which had been falsely reported stolen, was recovered the following day in the City of Wilmington. Further investigation revealed that Munson was a passenger in the vehicle while it fled from NCCPD officers.
