A suspended Delaware state trooper has pleaded guilty to criminal charges involving a brutal assault on a teenager who targeted the trooper's house in a prank. Prosecutors plan to recommend a prison sentence of 1½ years.
DOVER, Del. — A suspended Delaware state trooper is facing prison time after pleading guilty to criminal charges involving a brutal assault on a teenager who targeted the trooper’s house in a prank.
“We do not recommend prison sentences lightly, but there is no question that justice demands it here,” Attorney General Kathleen Jennings said in a prepared statement. “The defendant’s rampage against two kids, and his subsequent attempt to conceal his misconduct, was brutal, dishonest, and unacceptable.”Walters was indicted in September 2023 for assaulting a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old, whose eye socket was fractured.
While searching for the person who came to his doorstep, Walters was told by a witness that several juveniles had just run down the street where the 17-year-old lived. Walters drove to the area, looked up the 17-year-old again on the state database, and went to his house with two Newport police officers.
