Welcome to Arrest Stories. A twenty three year old North Carolina man was arrested after allegedly shooting at an Amazon delivery driver who mistakenly pulled into his driveway. Here's what may have happened.
On Sunday, December fourteenth, around nine thirty in the evening, an Amazon delivery driver was making her rounds on Jones Springs Church Road in Richmond County, North Carolina. The driver had her sixteen year old son with her during deliveries that night. According to the driver, her GPS directed her to an address and she turned into the driveway.
The driver later stated, "GPS directed me to an address and we turned into the driveway." However, she had pulled up to the wrong address, arriving at the home of twenty three year old Sidney Pittman.
Pittman answered the door and told the driver she had the wrong address. The Amazon driver then backed out of the driveway after being told she was at the incorrect location. As the driver was leaving the property, Pittman allegedly fired a shotgun while the driver was driving away.
The driver described the terrifying moment, saying, "I put my car in drive, just about to move a little, we hear a shot, I hear little pricks hitting the car. I didn't know where it was coming from. So I grab my gun, I looked left to right and my son was like, 'Mama, no. Just go.' So, I left."
After feeling the shot hit her vehicle, the Amazon driver fled the area and called for help. Deputies responded to the scene and spoke with Sidney Pittman following the shooting incident. During their investigation, deputies arrested Pittman and seized a shotgun from his home that they believe was used in the shooting.
Pittman was charged with injury to personal property and given a bond of two hundred thousand dollars. Officials condemned the incident, with one stating, "This type of reckless and dangerous behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances."
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
