Delivery driver charged with assault after allegedly hitting someone with vehicle in Fulton

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Callaway County Prosecutor's Office filed charges on Friday against a Domino's delivery driver who is accused of hitting someone with his vehicle.

Zachary Walton, 36, of Auxvasse, faces charges including first-degree assault, armed criminal action and leaving the scene of an accident. He's currently being held at the Callaway County Jail with no bond.

The probable cause statement filed in the case said the incident happened at around 7:20 p.m. Wednesday in the 500 block of Bluff Street in Fulton.

Police talked to the victim, who claimed Walton was making a delivery at the time and got upset over not receiving a tip, court documents say. Walton allegedly started arguing with the victim before driving his vehicle forward and hitting the victim.

The statement says video taken at the home allegedly shows Walton swearing at the victim and a witness. He then allegedly got in his vehicle and backed toward the roadway. Police said the victim walked toward the vehicle, but not in a way so as to block it from leaving, which is when Walton allegedly started forward and hit the victim. Walton then allegedly sped away in his vehicle.

When police talked to Walton later at his place of employment, Walton reportedly admitted to driving toward the victim, intending to scare him, and admitted to leaving the scene afterward.

Walton had an initial appearance scheduled for Friday morning. His next court date has not been scheduled.
