An Amazon driver who pulled into a handicapped-accessible parking space is paralysed from the waist down after a suburban St. Louis man allegedly confronted him about it and shot him.
An Amazon driver who illegally parked in a handicapped-accessible parking space is paralysed from the waist down after a suburban St. Louis man allegedly confronted him about it and shot him in the back.
Larry Thomlison, 65, of St. Charles, who isn't disabled himself but had a placard allowing him to park in handicapped-accessible spots because of a relative, was charged Wednesday with assault and armed criminal action in Tuesday's shooting outside a Target store in St. Charles. He is jailed on $100 000 bond. No attorney is listed for him in online court records, and a phone message left at his home wasn't immediately returned.
Thomlison pulled out a cellphone to photograph the illegally parked delivery van, and posted the image to social media, according to charges. Then Thomlison confronted Walker about the parking spot and put his phone"in the face of" the Amazon driver in an attempt to photograph him, according to the charges. Walker said he told Thomlison that he was going to move but that"he kept harassing me." Charges say that when Walker pushed the phone away, Thomlison punched the driver.
