Papa John’s Stands By Pizza Delivery Person
Pizza delivery drivers are routine targets of criminals since they typically carry large amounts of cash. WSBTV.com out of Atlanta, Georgia, reported on January 13 about a Papa John’s Pizza driver who showed some criminals that the drivers sometimes fight back.
Captain Stephen Fore of the DeKalb County Police Department said that a female pizza delivery driver was called to a location for a pizza delivery but was instead confronted by a man with a handgun. Fore told WSBTV.com that the driver “arrived at the location and a male began approaching the vehicle she thought was there to pick up the pizza.... When he got to her he produced a handgun and forced her out of the vehicle and on to the ground.” Fortunately, the driver had her own pistol in her pocket and had the courage to reach for it and fire at the armed robber. The shot hit the attacker in the face, and police later located 24-year-old Donquaz Stevenson in the yard of a nearby home suffering from the wound. Captain Fore told WSBTV.com that the gun might have saved her life. “She had no other choice. She must have been in fear for her life and she reacted.”
An accomplice of the injured robber was able to commandeer the driver’s vehicle and drive away before the police arrived. Authorities are still looking for the second suspect. Stevenson is recovering from his wound and has been charged with armed robbery.
