Volino described how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/british-actress-claims-literally-a-corpse-has-more-rights-than-american-women-without-roe\/\" title=\"British Actress Claims \u2018Literally A Corpse Has More Rights\u2019 Than American Women Without Roe\">driver insisted<\/a> on receiving a cash tip, prompting him to block the entry.

Police arrested Delehant, charging him with harassment, DUI, and assault, while DoorDash terminated its association with him.Volino expressed his concern for his family&#8217;s safety and criticized the driver&#8217;s entitlement to a cash tip for a service already compensated.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A 59-year-old man has been arrested after a struggle that took place when a disgruntled DoorDash driver sought a cash tip from a customer.<\/p>\n<p>The incident took place last month, after Anthony Volino&rsquo;s daughter bought about $100 in groceries and had them delivered to their Vancouver, Washington, home, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/kval.com\/news\/local\/doordash-driver-tip-struggle-gun-vancouver-washington-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KVAL-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She used a SNAP card to pay for the items.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, Volino said, he, his daughter, and his grandchildren were having breakfast when someone knocked on the door.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It startled my daughter, and she goes, &lsquo;Oh my gosh, you know, who the heck&rsquo;s pounding on the door?&#8217;&rdquo; Volino said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kgw.com\/article\/news\/local\/vancouver\/former-delivery-driver-arrested-charged-harassment-dui-vancouver-home-gun\/283-cd6e554e-058c-4521-8e94-5d62ac1058f8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KGW-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;She went to the door, answered the door, and he introduced himself as the DoorDash driver from the night before and she goes, &lsquo;OK, did I forget anything?&#8217;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Volino said the man <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/toddler-playing-moms-phone-accidentally-orders-30-cheeseburgers-doordash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wanted a tip<\/a> in cash.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He was pretty loud.

The incident occurred last month after Anthony Volino&#8217;s daughter ordered approximately $100 worth of groceries delivered to their home in Vancouver, Washington, using a SNAP card for payment. The next morning, while Volino and his family were having breakfast, someone knocked on the door, startling his daughter. When she answered, the man identified himself as the DoorDash driver from the previous night and requested a cash tip. Volino noted that he could smell alcohol on the driver and initially considered giving him some money but then told him to leave when he insisted on receiving his tip. After Volino&#8217;s daughter mentioned she would leave an online tip since SNAP does not permit tips, the driver pushed into their doorway, leading to a physical altercation between him and Volino. During this struggle, Volino felt something metallic in the driver&#8217;s waistband and realized it was a gun. Fearing for his life and that of his family&#8217;s safety if the driver gained access to it, he fought to disarm him. Both men called 911 after their fight ended; fortunately, no one was injured. Police later arrested Robert Delehant on charges including harassment and DUI; DoorDash subsequently terminated its relationship with him<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2443930,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/House-Defender.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[56682,25028,25214,36335,11684],"class_list":["post-2443929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-armed-confrontation","tag-doordash","tag-grandfather","tag-police-incident","tag-self-defense"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/House-Defender.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2443929"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2443933,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2443929\/revisions\/2443933"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2443930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2443929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2443929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2443929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
