A late-night delivery mistake in North Carolina turned into a serious event after a homeowner allegedly fired a gun at a delivery driver’s vehicle.

According to reports, on the evening of December 14, an Amazon delivery driver accidentally pulled into the wrong driveway in Richmond County while following GPS directions. The driver, who was working a seasonal delivery shift, had her teenage son in the car with her at the time. When she arrived at what she thought was her intended destination, she realized it was the wrong address and did not get out of the car to deliver the parcel.

A man from inside the house came outside and briefly spoke with the driver, who had remained in her car the entire time. After they talked, the situation escalated when she put the car in reverse and began to back out of the driveway. According to reports, as the vehicle was leaving the property, what was believed to be a shotgun was fired in its direction.

A man in Central Florida was arrested after allegedly attacking a delivery driver who he believed was driving too fast.

A Florida woman was arrested after allegedly purchasing a magnet to assist her in stealing from a retail store in the mall by using it to remove security devices from the clothing and merchandise.

Just before midnight on June 27, an officer with the Clearwater Police Department pulled over a moped with a female passenger. When he approached, he identified the passenger as someone with an active arrest warrant from Oklahoma. The officer let the woman know she was being detained, and he noticed she was holding several bags. When he began looking through them, the officer became suspicious when he thought he saw clothing that still had the security tags attached. He looked through the rest of the bags, which also reportedly had locked tags affixed, and allegedly discovered many additional pieces of merchandise that he believed had been stolen. While inspecting the contents of her purse, the officer reportedly found a large magnet.

According to reports, when discussing what was found, the woman told the officer she purchased the magnet on Amazon, and that she was able to use it to take the security tags off items. She allegedly said she took the items she was holding from the Clearwater Mall location of Burlington Coat Factory by simply walking out of the store and planned to use the magnet to take the tags off later.
