Milwaukee Woman Charged for Allegedly Damaging Delivery Driver’s Car
A woman from Milwaukee is facing serious charges after reportedly tracking down a delivery driver and severely damaging her car with a tire iron.
According to the Milwaukee Police Department, 22-year-old Janiya Jones allegedly used the GPS function in her food delivery app to locate driver Faith Morris at her home. This incident occurred after a failed attempt to deliver food from Flyers restaurant.
Morris expressed her frustration, stating, “She did this over 10 pieces of chicken wings! She passed the flyer to get here.” The situation escalated when Morris was unable to complete Jones’ order due to a phone service interruption.
After returning home and connecting to Wi-Fi to cancel the order, it seems that Jones wasn’t content with the way her order was handled. Records indicate she might have felt compelled to follow Morris home, likely upset about the cancellation process.
“There’s no way I could have called me an hour after this happened. It’s absolutely crazy,” Morris said, reflecting on the unexpected events.
Video footage from a doorbell camera allegedly shows Jones approaching Morris’s property and violently attacking the car. She reportedly smashed windows with a tire iron and hurled bricks, resulting in an estimated $10,000 worth of damage.
“It was shocking to see the glass raining down as she was striking it,” Morris recalled.
Police later secured a search warrant for DoorDash records, which confirmed Jones’s identity as an irate customer. They also matched the doorbell footage with bodycam video from a previous incident involving Jones earlier this year.
Morris claimed that she has been unable to work since the attack and described the bizarre situation, saying, “This is a crazy situation that many people have never heard of, and it’s just insane.”
DoorDash condemned the actions taken by Jones, labeling them “unacceptable and disturbing” in a statement. If found guilty, Jones could face up to three and a half years in prison for felony criminal damage and disorderly conduct, according to prosecutors.
