Mr. Morton was also indicted in Kent County Superior Court on possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by person prohibited, and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.

According to Dover PD earlier, Mr. Morton was later arrested without incident as he reported to the Dover Probation and Parole office for a routine check-in appointment. His address was listed at the time as in the unit block of Cypress Branch Road,

Mr. Morton was held at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna afterward, police said.
