Deliverance
“You need the cops here right away, because if he shoots me, I’m going to run him over,” a man told a 911 dispatcher. The caller was trying to deliver a car to Louis Melone at his home in Deltona, Fla., but Melone apparently had an issue with his new ride, which was being delivered from Montana. He claimed it had a small crack in the window, and pulled out a gun and shot at the delivery man. “He’s crazy. He done shot at me. I’m scared for my life. He’s coming again!” the caller said before hanging up. When deputies arrived, Melone, who is 72, allegedly admitted he fired a shot to “scare” the driver, who was not injured. Melone was charged with felony aggravated assault, and delivered to jail. (RC/My News 13 Orlando) ...There was definitely a crack somewhere.Original Publication Date: 26 January 2014
