The attack, which occurred in March, was later captured on video and went viral. The victim, identified by lawyer Tony Buzbee as his client, suffered neck pain and a concussion. Wheeler was identified and turned himself in,and is now detained on charges including elder abuse,threats,and battery. Buzbee criticized Amazon\u2019s hiring and screening practices, indicating plans for a potential $10 million lawsuit against the company, citing concerns about Wheeler&#8217;s violence history.The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/family-recounts-chilling-meetings-with-doctors-nurses-before-beloved-grandmother-was-euthanized-allegedly-against-her-will-and-theirs\/\" title=\"Family Recounts Chilling Meetings with Doctors, Nurses Before Beloved Grandmother Was Euthanized, Allegedly Against Her Will and Theirs\">case highlights issues related<\/a> to workplace safety and accountability.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?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\" ?><html><body><\/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>And today in news that makes you wonder just where the America you grew up with went, an Amazon delivery driver is facing charges of sucker-punching an elderly man.<\/p>\n<p>The reason? A dispute over a parking spot.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/elk-grove-amazon-driver-attacks-man-gas-station\/73520836\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KCRA-TV<\/a> in Sacramento, the incident happened at an Elk Grove, California, gas station a few months back, but charges were just announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>On March 30, police say, a 72-year-old man apparently pulled into a parking stall at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/police-thug-shot-killed-innocent-man-called-cutting-line-phoenix-gas-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the gas station<\/a>. However, according to law enforcement, 30-year-old Amazon driver Terrence Wheeler thought the spot belonged to <em>him<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This was at 3:15 p.m., mind you, and the city of 176,000 people isn\u2019t exactly Manhattan. Nobody should be so desperate for a parking spot as to get into an argument with anyone.<\/p>\n<p>But ensue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/23-year-old-airman-dies-gunshot-attempting-stop-armed-robbers-gas-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an argument<\/a> did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolice said Wheeler confronted the elderly man and threatened to attack him. Wheeler then struck the man on the side of his head as the man was walking past Wheeler. The man fell to the ground,\u201d the station reported.<\/p>\n<p>While the incident happened months ago, the video just went viral earlier in the week:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>WARNING: The following video contains violent footage that some viewers will find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DcUIam9p0Lw\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DcUIam9p0Lw\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post d by Tony Buzbee (@tonybuzbee)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The video was posted by trial lawyer Tony Buzbee, who called the man his client and identified him as 71 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring his work day, he stopped at an ARCO Gas Station in Elk Grove, California to go to the bathroom and get a soft drink,\u201d Buzbee said on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently, the Amazon driver felt that our client took his parking spot.
