A 35-year-old Domino’s delivery driver from Missouri is facing allegations of using his car to hit a customer following a heated exchange over a missing tip.

Zachary Nicholos Walton was arrested on Wednesday and is now charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action, and leaving the scene of an accident.

The Fulton Police Department provided details in a probable cause affidavit, stating that officers responded to a call regarding a crash with injuries at a home on the 500 block of Bluff Street, just after 7:20 p.m. The location is approximately 165 miles east of Kansas City. The emergency dispatcher was informed that a Domino’s delivery driver had become agitated and hit someone with his car before fleeing the area.

Once on the scene, first responders gathered accounts from the victim and a witness. The victim recounted that the delivery driver, identified as Walton, was upset over not receiving a tip and engaged in a verbal dispute. As tensions rose, the victim claimed that Walton deliberately drove his car forward, hitting him.

The collision propelled the victim onto the hood of another vehicle, resulting in visible injuries to his hand, according to the police.

Security camera footage from the residence was reviewed by law enforcement, reportedly showing Walton initiating the confrontation by shouting profanities at the victim and witness. In the video, Walton can allegedly be heard calling them “f—ing rude” and provocatively challenging them with, “What are you going to do, b—? Come get me,” before returning to his vehicle.

The footage then showed Walton reversing toward the roadway before shifting into drive and accelerating forward toward the victim, who was walking up the driveway, according to the affidavit. Police said the victim was not blocking the vehicle when Walton drove at him, striking him and forcing him onto the hood to avoid more serious injury.

The victim told officers he suffered pain in his hand and believed he also had scrapes on his shin as a result of being hit.

After the impact, Walton fled the scene “at a high rate of speed” without contacting authorities.

Officers later located him at a local Domino’s, where he admitted to driving toward the victim with his vehicle, claiming he “did so to scare him.” Walton also allegedly acknowledged leaving the scene.

Investigators noted Walton has a prior conviction in Callaway County for domestic assault and false imprisonment, for which he previously served jail time.

Authorities said the use of a vehicle during the altercation and his decision to flee demonstrate a danger to the victim and the community.

Walton is currently being held in the Callaway County Jail without bond, records show. It was not immediately clear when he was scheduled to make his next court appearance.
