A pizza delivery driver in Covina, Calif. was arrested for allegedly stabbing a customer over the weekend. The customer apparently had the nerve to complain that the food was over an hour late.
Michael Charles Parker, 31, was delivering the pizzas to a house party Saturday (Jan. 2). The customers weren’t happy with the late order, and tipped him $3 on a $45 bill.
“That started the verbal argument that led to a physical altercation that moved down into the driveway of the house and during that physical altercation the suspect stabbed the victim in the neck and the wrist,” police said.
The 20-year-old victim was hospitalized, and didn’t sustain life threatening injuries. Parker was arrested for assault.
Domino’s released a statement reminding everybody that even though the company wasn’t aware of the altercation, it has nothing to do with them. “We haven’t heard anything about of this,” a Domino’s spokesperson said.
“All the stores in California are owned by independent franchisees and because we have no information, we can’t provide comment other than to say we are shocked by the allegation and hope the customer is OK.”
