Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) toldTMZthat the delivery driver in question did, in fact, claim self-defense on this matter.
They told TMZ: “The investigation revealed that a delivery driver arrived at the residence to deliver consumable goods.
“Another dog was present at the residence but did not attack.”
CMPD reportedly said that no criminal charges have been filed over the incident, but CMPD’s Animal Control became embroiled in the situation and is seemingly not seeking out any other parties either.
InstaCart responded to Angie’s allegations, tellingBored Panda: “We were deeply saddened and disturbed to hear about this incident.
“We have no tolerance for violence of any kind, and the shopper account was immediately suspended from our platform.
