A pizza delivery driver is facing charges after he allegedly called the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office and falsely reported he was robbed at gunpoint while delivering a pizza Monday.
Noah Klein, 19, of Hampton, is charged with making a false report after he called the sheriff’s office and said he’d been robbed while delivering pizza to an apartment on Willowood Drive in York County, according to York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office Facebook post.
Klein told officers he’d been robbed by the residents of the apartment at 8:15 p.m. Monday night, the post states.
The residents of the apartment were detained as deputies investigated the case, but it soon became clear they had not committed a robbery, according to the post.
Deputies determined Klein had lied, the post said, because the residents’ stories were much more consistent than the delivery driver’s.
“It is unfortunate that the residents had to be detained and go through this ordeal,” said Capt. Dennis Ivey in the post. “But we cannot take chances when dealing with a report of an armed robbery.”
