A former Delaware councilman was arrested Saturday after police said he struck an organizer of a gay pride parade in Dover with his truck.
Reuben Salters, 90, was charged with third-degree vehicular assault and related offenses and released on his own recognizance, Dover Police Cpl. Mark Hoffman said in a statement.
Salters was driving a Ford Ranger around 8:15 a.m. when he approached Forrest and West Streets, which were blocked off for the Delaware Pride Festival parade. He got out of the truck, got back in and drove to an area with a large group of paradegoers blocked off by cones, police said.
Salters than tried driving through a large crowd until he was stopped, Hoffman said.
