In October 2019, while off-duty, Officer Ronald Brown threatened an acquaintance with a handgun during a verbal altercation at his Delaware residence. The dispute arose over payment for work on Brown’s car. Following the incident, Brown was indicted in March 2020 and subsequently pleaded guilty to aggravated menacing in October 2020. He received a five-year sentence, suspended to one year of supervised probation, resigned from the Salisbury Police Department, and was required to forfeit the firearm used in the offense.
