MILLSBORO, Del.- A Millsboro man is facing felony criminal charges following accusations that he attacked two men with a screwdriver during an argument over jet skis.
Delaware State Police said it happened at around 1 p.m. Sunday in the beach area of Sandpiper Road, located in the Pot-Nets Seaside Mobile Home Park in Millsboro.
