MILLSBORO, Del. (AP) - Sometime this summer, Sgt. Barry Wheatley will close the book on his career as a member of the Millsboro Police Department – a 20-year tenure that began with connections through the restaurant industry.
“I had a friend of mine who got hired by another agency, somebody who I met in my teens. He was about eight years older than I am,” said Sgt. Wheatley.
His older friend was with another agency but went through the process with officers from Millsboro PD.
