A man dropping off a DoorDash order at a residence was arrested after allegedly returning to the home the following day with a firearm, presumably because he felt gypped since he was not given a tip.

On the evening of June 4, a family in Vancouver, Washington, ordered approximately $100 worth of food using the DoorDash app. When the delivery driver dropped off the food, the recipients did not choose to give him a tip. He initially left without incident, but according to reports, he returned the following morning to attempt to collect the gratuity.

The man who lives at the residence reported that his 19-year-old daughter answered the door, and it caught his attention when he heard someone getting aggressive towards her. He saw that it was the DoorDasher from the previous night, and the driver reportedly lifted his shirt to show he had a gun in a holster around his waist. The resident was able to wrestle the gun away when the pair were involved in a scuffle in the driveway before the man drove away.

Early in the morning on July 2, a 63-year-old driver from Worcester, Massachusetts, reportedly became lost while driving his Lexus in Killingly, Connecticut. He pulled onto Interstate 395, but according to a state trooper who stopped in the median, the man was going north on the south side and facing oncoming traffic. The trooper lost sight of the vehicle before he could intervene, and a description of the vehicle was distributed so other law enforcement officers could keep an eye out.
