A Florida couple delivering groceries for Instacart had a frightening experience when they drove to the wrong address. Waldes Thomas and his girlfriend, Diamond D’arville, were delivering groceries on Saturday when they arrived at the wrong address. Thomas said he told the man he worked for Instacart, but was fired upon anyway.
“We were there for Instacart, we were trying to tell him, and he went about it the wrong way — instead of just calling police, saying I have trespassers on my lawn, he decided to shoot,” Thomas said. D’arville added that she saw the man pull out a gun, prompting them to quickly leave the area.
Police in South Florida said they will not charge the neighbor for shooting at the car, as he acted based on his own assessment of danger when the vehicle, moving erratically, struck a boulder and the shooter’s foot. Likewise, police said, the Instacart driver will not be charged because he acted based on their own assessment of danger.
The couple said that as they pulled out to leave, the man got into his truck and followed them. Fortunately, the couple was able to get away safely and the police are not pressing charges against either party.
Both parties appear to have acted based on their own assessment of the situation and the police have determined that no charges will be filed. This incident serves as a reminder to always be aware of one’s surroundings and to take necessary precautions when in unfamiliar areas.
