Other arrests: Man jailed for robbery of DoorDash driver over chicken wings bill
— A 21-year-old Carson City man, Jordan La Russa, was arrested early Tuesday morning for suspicion of felony robbery with a deadly weapon after allegedly pointing a gun at a DoorDash driver.
According to the booking report, deputies were dispatched to a Butti Way address for a robbery. Dispatch advised the reporting party stated he was delivering DoorDash when a man pointed a firearm at him over the amount due on the bill.
Deputies met with the reporting party who advised they were delivering wings from a restaurant through DoorDash. The driver told deputies the person who ordered asked him to deliver it to a Butti Way address. The driver said he handed the man the wings and told him he owes $30.51 for the order. The driver told the deputy the man backed up and pulled out a black gun, slid it back and pointed it to his face, saying he paid online, according to the report.
The victim stated he asked the man if he could see the receipt. Instead, the man took off on foot toward the north side of the building before entering it. The victim showed the deputy the DoorDash order and at the bottom of the screen it says to collect $30.51 upon arrival.
The deputy asked the victim driver why the DoorDash was cash and not online. The victim explained it was a special that was run through the pizza company where you can order online and pay in person. The name on the order wasn’t the suspect’s name. The deputy ran the name through dispatch and they could not find any information on the subject. The driver advised what the suspect was wearing and approximate age.
The deputy then hit the phone button on the DoorDash order and it started the call to the person who placed the order. A male answered the phone and the driver then asked the man to come down and pay for the food. The man told the driver he was not going to come down, the report states.
The deputy then began talking to the man on the phone, later identified as suspect Jordan La Russa, who began saying the driver was claiming he didn’t pay for the order even though he paid online. The suspect then said the driver starting coming at him and so he ran because the driver was bigger than him, the report states.
The deputy asked suspect La Russa if he could come outside so they could talk to him. The suspect told the deputy that he just told him what happened. The deputy asked the suspect what room he was in so they could go talk to him and get the situation resolved. The suspect told the deputy he didn’t want them doing all that and hung up the phone, the report states.
During the call, a dog track was stated by a deputy and K9 partner Proton. Six residents from a unit were detained during the track and later released. A subject from the third floor was detained on the west side of the building, with a similar description of the suspect. A deputy went over to that side of the building and was advised that a man who fit the description started running down the stairs on the west side. The deputy ran over to the stairs exit and the man exited and was detained and determined not to be the suspect, the report states.
The deputy was advised from detectives that the suspect, Jordan La Russa, was identified by a previous call earlier and learned the location of where he was living at on Butti Way. A deputy again tried to call La Russa on the phone number used through dispatch. The call went to voicemail. La Russa then called the deputy back and asked him to come outside to speak. The suspect then said he did not rob anyone and that he only cocked the gun and that it is an open carry state, the report states.
The suspect later came outside and was arrested for suspicion of felony robbery. During transport to jail, the suspect stated the driver called him a name and approached him so he racked his gun while it was in the holster. He then stated he went inside and ate his wings and went to bed. Bail: $40,000.
