Arizona Man Gets Arrested For Pulling a Gun on Door-Dash Driver

An Arizona man has now been arrested for drawing a gun and pointing it at a Door-Dash delivery man, according to Mesa Police.

While arriving to a neighborhood at an apartment complex in Mesa, Arizona, Dimitri Mills told CNN he was approached by a man who was carrying a handgun, aimed at him.

“When I exited my vehicle, he had his gun drawn to me,” Mills said. “I knocked on the customer’s door and let her know that her order was outside and that we need help because a guy had pulled a gun out on me.”

Witnesses who were at the scene told authorities that they “observed the defendant holding a handgun and telling the victim to stop ‘stalking him.'”

The police report reveals the identity of the suspect as Valentino Tejada.

Mills explains in the report that he informed Tejada several times that he wasn’t there to do any harm and was simply delivering food.

After Mills dropped the food off to the customer, Tejada wouldn’t allow him to leave.

“The guy was in between me and the car and wouldn’t let me go past him,” Mills continued.

Mills began to request that the witnesses called the police.

Tejada informed local authorities that when Mills arrived, he almost hit Tejada with his vehicle in the parking lot, which is what prompted him to watch him with a firearm. However,” no witnesses were identified to corroborate his statement,” the police report said. Tejada followed the police officers’ commands and was taken into custody.

Since the incident, Tejada has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct involving weapons, the report explains.

“We want to get justice in this case, and we want to make sure this person is prosecuted to the fullest,” Benjamin Taylor, Mill’s attorney, said in a statement to CNN.

The report also reveals that the gun was loaded with a round in the chamber.
