Two Maryland Teens Resisted Arrest, Injured Officers in Dewey Beach

Dewey Beach Police arrested two Montgomery County teenagers early Thursday morning following a disturbance, an attempted flight from officers, and a physical altercation that left two officers with minor injuries.

According to police, officers responded around 3:20 am on May 28 to the Izzy Plaza parking lot on Coastal Highway for a report of two males yelling at one another. The individuals were identified as 19-year-old David Reina of Bethesda and 18-year-old Quentin Wilber of Chevy Chase. During the investigation, police said both individuals provided false identifying information, and officers learned one of the subjects had been involved in a theft incident at a nearby business.

Police said both suspects attempted to flee on foot as officers continued their investigation. During the attempted detention, a struggle broke out and one suspect allegedly interfered with officers trying to take the other into custody. Officers reported that one suspect was stopped after a Taser was deployed, while the second continued resisting arrest before being restrained with assistance from a bystander. Both were charged with disorderly conduct, felony resisting arrest with force or violence, offensive touching of a law enforcement officer, providing false information to police, and two counts of underage possession or consumption of alcohol. Both were arraigned and committed to the Delaware Department of Correction pending further proceedings.
