MILTON, Del. — Milton Police arrested 44-year-old Shannon Hilton after responding to a domestic disturbance which revealed more than a violated court order.Â
Police responded to a domestic disturbance on Nov. 28, at approximately 11:19 p.m., in the area of Bay Avenue. Hilton had fled the scene in a black Ford F350 pickup truck but was located by an officer on State Route 16.
