Amazon Delivery Driver Speaks Out After Terrifying Ordeal
The driver, Linquita Schley, was delivering packages in Brentwood on Dec. 21 on Brownsville Road when the alleged incident happened. KDKA-TV obtained video of when Brian Dengler confronted Schley.
"What was going through my mind? I got flashbacks of my stepson," she said. "I was getting flashbacks of my girlfriend, flashbacks of my mom. I was getting flashbacks of my life and how grateful I need to start being for it."
Schley said the man pointed the gun at her multiple times. At one point, she said the gun was under her chin. And Schley said Dengler was calling her racial slurs.
"In the video, a lot of people don't know, he points right here," she said. "And then he tries to lift me up with the gun on my thing and that's when I snapped. I snapped back in reality and I pushed it down. And said oh, now you are doing too much, move, watch out."
Angry Confrontation Over Blocked Driveway
A 65-year-old man, identified as Mr. Dengler, has admitted to pulling out a gun during an argument with a truck driver named Schley. The incident occurred when Schley's truck was blocking Dengler's driveway, causing him to become angry. "It's hard to sleep," Schley said, reflecting on the incident. Since then, Schley has not returned to work and has learned a valuable lesson about love and understanding. "If we love one another, we don't have to worry about hating one another," she said.
Charges and Safety Concerns
Dengler has been charged with simple assault, ethnic intimidation, and making terroristic threats in connection with the incident. Schley hopes that Amazon, her employer, will implement safety changes in the future. However, there has been no response from Amazon regarding this matter.
