A Florida man was arrested this week for attacking an Amazon driver who was in the middle of his delivery route, law enforcement in the Sunshine State say.
Dana Hilliker, 37, stands accused of burglary with assault or battery, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident occurred Sunday near a residence on North West Gainesville Road in Ocala — a medium-sized city in central Florida — some 40 miles due south of Gainesville.
On the day in question, Hilliker allegedly jumped aboard the delivery van and scratched the Amazon employee.
The defendant was apparently enraged because of how fast the delivery man was driving through his neighborhood, according to an affidavit of probable cause obtained by Orlando-based CBS affiliate WKMG.
Hilliker was particularly incensed because he was riding around with his son on his motorcycle that day — and apparently feared for their safety due to the driver’s alleged speed, he told sheriff’s deputies.
“(Hilliker) stated he waved his hands and yelled at him to ‘slow down,’” the affidavit obtained by the TV station reads. “However, (Hilliker) stated the van proceeded to the rear of the property to deliver a package.”
