George Chiang, Violent Crime, Delaware 2008

Published September 9, 2008

On September 9, 2008, a federal indictment was filed against George Chiang at the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Chiang, a then-24-year-old man from New Castle County, was accused of committing a violent crime. According to the indictment, dated September 9, 2008, Chiang was charged with multiple counts of armed robbery, carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The charges against Chiang were a result of a string of violent robberies that took place in the summer of 2008 in Wilmington and surrounding areas. The robberies, which occurred between June and August 2008, left several individuals injured and prompted a massive investigation by local law enforcement agencies. Chiang was eventually arrested and charged with the crimes on September 8, 2008, just a day before the indictment was filed. The case, which was assigned to U.S. District Judge Gregory M. Sleet, was a priority for federal authorities due to the violent nature of the crimes. However, the outcome of the case is unclear, and it is not specified in available records whether Chiang was convicted or acquitted. Nevertheless, the indictment and subsequent arrest of Chiang marked a significant development in the investigation and brought a sense of relief to the local community.
