Bridgeville, DE – 19 September 2018 – Two Repo Men, one the company owner, have turned themselves in to Delaware State Police on several charges that include assault, child endangerment and conspiracy that allegedly occurred during a repossession attempt.
On Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at approximately 12:20 p.m. State Troopers were dispatched to the 6000 block of Federalsburg Road for an assault complaint.
Upon arrival, the Trooper made contact with a 37-year-old male victim, who alleged that on September 15, 2018, while in his driveway, a black tow truck with a vehicle lift backed up into his driveway and two men got out.
The victim reported that the men told him that they were there to repossess his 2002 Dodge Caravan. To block the repossession attempt, the alleged victim claims that he laid on the lift. The two men allegedly began pulling him off before one of the suspects allegedly sprayed mace in the victim’s face. The suspects subsequently removed the victim from the lift, and left the residence with possession of the Caravan.
During the altercation, two children, ages 5 and 11 witnessed the incident.
Through investigative measures, the suspects were identified as 46-year-old Michael R. Milligan of Laurel and 23-year-old Raymond M. Hitchens of Georgetown.
Michael R. Milligan of Laurel, is listed as the primary owner and operator of “Predator Recovery and Towing, LLC” of Laurel Delaware.
Milligan and Hitchens turned themselves in at Troop 5 and were charged with the following:
- Assault Second Degree With a Disabling Chemical Spray (Felony)
- Conspiracy Second Degree (Felony)
- Endangering the Welfare of a Child (2 counts)
Both were arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on $7,000.00 unsecured bond.

Editors Note:
While certainly odd that it took three days for the alleged victim to report the alleged incident, the company name “Predator” may not prove useful during legal proceedings. Not judging, just sayin…
