The Delaware State Police arrested 28-year-old Caitlynn Scott of Lincoln, Delaware, for a felony assault charge stemming from an incident at the Delaware State Fair in Harrington on Friday morning. Additionally, a 26-year-old man from Milford, Delaware, was arrested for a misdemeanor assault related offense following the incident.
On July 25, 2025, at approximately 11:15 a.m., troopers responded to Gate 7 at the Delaware State Fair, located at 200 Simpson Road, Harrington, for a report of an assault. In the ensuing investigation, troopers learned the victim was involved in an argument with an acquaintance, later identified as the 26-year-old man, while he was driving her to a destination in Sussex County. The argument resolved with the victim requesting to be dropped off at Harrington Casino instead. Once they arrived at Gate 7, the 26-year-old man forcibly removed the victim from the vehicle. The victim reached back into the vehicle to retrieve her purse, at which point the rear passenger, later identified as Caitlynn Scott, pepper sprayed the victim. The suspects then fled in an unknown direction. The victim was taken to an area hospital for injuries sustained from the chemical spray to her face.
Troopers located the suspect vehicle in Milford, and conducted a traffic stop. During the stop, troopers made contact with Scott, and the 26-year-old male, both of whom were taken into custody without incident. Scott and the 26-year-old male were taken to Troop 3, where the male was charged with a misdemeanor offense.
Scott was charged with the crime below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and released on a $3,000 unsecured bond.
