Georgetown, Delaware – A Georgetown woman is facing charges after police say she drove toward a Correctional Officer who was supervising a roadside work crew in Ellendale. The incident happened just before 9 a.m. on Friday, May 2, along the 20000 block of Reynolds Pond Road. Delaware State Police responded to a report of reckless endangering involving a black Pontiac G6. Troopers say 26-year-old Inessa Bagwell had been told to leave the area by a Correctional Officer after being seen speaking with offenders from the Sussex Community Corrections Center. Police say Bagwell initially left but returned shortly after, argued with the officer, and then drove her vehicle toward him, nearly hitting him, before fleeing the area. Through investigation, Bagwell was identified as the suspect and a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was taken into custody on Monday, May 5, and charged with first-degree reckless endangering, a felony, along with disorderly conduct for refusing to disperse. Bagwell was arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 3 and released on her own recognizance.
