  • Four Delaware State University students arrested after the May 19 Rehoboth Beach takeover had their riot-related and conspiracy charges dropped by the Delaware Department of Justice.
  • Attorney General Kathy Jennings said prosecutors found "no factual basis" for the case against Xander Nicholl, Angelin Clauvil, Eric Barnett and Keyon Scott.
  • The arrests followed a social-media-promoted gathering that drew hundreds of young people to the beach and boardwalk, triggering arrests for underage drinking, drug use and disorderly conduct while some businesses closed early.
  • Rehoboth Beach officials said they had not been contacted by the DOJ about the dismissals, questioned whether all facts had been reviewed and sought a meeting with the NAACP Delaware State Conference of Branches.
