Homeowner confronts paper carrier
PERRYSBURG – A newspaper carrier reported to police that he was confronted by a resident with a gun while
making early morning deliveries.
According to the Perrysburg Police Division report, the carrier told police he was delivering a newspaper
to a home in the 900 block of Walnut Street at about 4 a.m. Thursday when the homeowner met him at the
front of the residence and wanted to know why he was in the area so early in the morning. The carrier
said the resident, who was holding a handgun in his right hand by his side, apologized for bringing the
weapon outside.
The report states the carrier said he was not threatened and could not describe the gun more
specifically.
When questioned by police, the homeowner denied owning a firearm. The resident told police that he
confronted the carrier because he had never seen him in the neighborhood before but that he never went
outside.
