Washington DoorDash driver allegedly pulls a gun and threatens family after demanding tip

Описание: This story was shared by our sister station KATU in Portland:

A man struggled with a DoorDash driver who showed up at his family’s home last month and who, police said, was armed with a gun demanding a tip for a grocery delivery the night before.

Anthony Volino said his daughter ordered about $100 in groceries to their home via DoorDash last Wednesday. She used a SNAP card to pay.

The next morning, Volino said he was sitting down for breakfast with his daughter and grandchildren when they heard a knock at the front door.

His daughter got up to see who it was. The man at the door said he was the DoorDash delivery driver the day before and forgot to get his cash tip.

He said the driver, identified by police as 59-year-old Robert Delehant, stepped into the doorway and refused to leave without getting money.

Volino put his arm in the way, and then things turned physical.

The ensuing struggle was captured on a security camera.

“As we tussled, you know, at that point he said, ‘Oh, it’s going to be like that,’ and he reached behind him. When I saw him reach behind him, I knew he was going for some kind of weapon. I wasn’t going to wait to find out what that weapon was,” Volino said. “I reached around him and ripped the handgun out of his waistband. Soon as I had my hand on that gun, as I stated previously, my heart just sank.”
