Investigators who searched the scene found several shattered figurines left behind. Documents state that after Wilkerson was taken to Troop 5 in Bridgeville, police say that he admitted to using the glass angels to assault the Franklins and to getting into a physical altercation with a separate person.
More charges
Documents show a state police detective responded to the Delmar Police Department to meet with another person who reported they d been in an altercation with Wilkerson in the early morning hours of April 25.
The victim told the detective that at about 3 a.m. that day, Wilkerson hit him with his fist on the right side of his face. That blow caused a black eye, according to documents, leading to the third-degree assault charge against Wilkerson.
