The Delaware Department of Justice has dropped charges against four Delaware State University students accused of organizing a beach event that led to chaos on May 19. Attorney General Kathy Jennings stated there was 'no factual basis' for the charges. The students, Xander Nicholl, Angelin Clauvil, Eric Barnett, and Keyon Scott, were previously arrested for facilitating a riot and conspiracy in the second degree. The event, which was advertised on social media, resulted in several arrests for illegal drug use, underage drinking, and disorderly conduct. Following the dismissal of charges, the City of Rehoboth Beach expressed a lack of communication from the Department of Justice and requested further clarification on the situation. The city has also reached out to the NAACP for a meeting to discuss the matter.
