Arizona man pulls gun on black DoorDash delivery driver

Dimitri Mills said he had just pulled up to an apartment complex in Mesa, Arizona, on Sunday when a man confronted him with a handgun, Mills told CNN.\n\"When I exited my vehicle, he had his gun drawn to me,\" Mills said.\n\"I knocked on the customer's door and let her know that her order was outside and that we need help because a guy had pulled a gun out on me,\" Mills added.

The police report on the incident, which identifies the armed man as Valentino Tejada, says several witnesses \"observed the defendant holding a handgun and telling the victim to stop 'stalking him.'\"\nBoth Mills and the police report explain that he told Tejada several times to that he meant no harm and was just delivering food.\nAfter Mills made his delivery, Mills said Tejada was blocking him.\n\"The guy was in between me and the car and wouldn't let me go past him,\" he said.\nAs the standoff played out in the parking lot of the apartment complex, residents, at Mills urging, called the police.\nTejada told police that he was almost hit in the parking lot by Mills' vehicle and that was what prompted him to watch Mills, gun in hand, the report says. However, the arrest report notes that \"no witnesses were identified to corroborate his statement.\"

Tejada was cooperative with police and was taken into custody without incident.
