A Daytona Beach man used a stun gun on a Papa John’s deliveryman in a failed attempt to grab his pizzas, police said.

Volusia County Corrections
Christopher Collins
Christopher Collins, 19, faces a charge of armed robbery with a weapon for the Monday night incident, Daytona Beach Police said in an arrest affidavit.
The Papa John’s employee went to deliver two pies to a unit at 525 N. Halifax Avenue that was dark, but Collins eventually met him outside. He asked what the total was, the deliveryman said $26.09, and Collins went back toward the unit before returning seconds later, police said.
Collins then again asked “How much?,” the deliveryman took out a small flashlight to illuminate the receipt, and Collins shocked him in the stomach with a stun gun, according to police.
He tried to grab the pizzas, but the Papa John’s employee forcefully pulled them from Collins, who ran west toward the river, police said.

They said they learned that the same phone number had made pizza orders previously at an apartment at 100 Seabreeze Blvd. As officers stood in the hallway, they heard several people talking inside the apartment, with one saying, “I tried to get the pizza but he wouldn’t give it up,” police said.
They found Collins and his two brothers inside, and after the victim identified Collins as the man who tried to rob him, Collins admitted that he committed the robbery attempt, according to police.
He “stated that he was hungry and was just trying to rob the pizza guy of the pizza,” police reported.
Collins said he threw the stun gun in the river, but police found a stun gun inside the apartment, they said.
It was not immediately known whether Collins has an attorney. He was being held in custody on Wednesday, according to online Volusia County Corrections records.

What an idiot. Instead of just paying $26 for some pizza he now has a criminal record (if he didn't have one already). Just one more reason why I weep for the future.
Jacka55 never had any money. He should have never even ordered the pizzas. He was just trying to make a simple way to steal food. And still unsuccessful. He is a tard for sure. I bet his parents are teaching him the right way to steel as we speak. Jacka55.
Hey guard do you guy have any pizza in this joint? Yes! wouldn't you like any salame with that?
Ha!
If you are hungry, get a damn job and buy groceries like the rest of us do
Laura, monkeys like Christopher Collins can not even spell JOB, let alone go out and get one.
Well, imagine as things get worst people will just kick in your door and probably kill you for your food, gee how's that for reality. Bryan why don't you walk up to a Black guy and call him a monkey if you have a pair. Don't have the guts right.
He probably just felt that he was "entitled" to that pizza.
He probably had to steal the pizzas cause Papa John's doesn't take EBT
I've owned a stun gun for the past 20 years. Never had to use it, but have always had the urge to see if I could heat up a ravioli with the thing. The punk is 'lucky' that the pizza guy didn't drop & strike his head on the pavement. What if the guy had suffered a concussion or even died as a result? It's been known to happen.
Whatta pizza crap!
If I had a son he would look a lot like Christopher Collins. Its a sad day when they deprive a upstanding young man of a meal that he was entitled to after a long day of being prosperous in the local community
"And he through the tazer in the river" that was 3 mile away. It proves it AGAIN, that the first word and the last word out of ablack man's mouth is a LIE !! OHHH and every word in between !!!
Most stores have "party pizzas" for $0.99 that you can microwave. They suck, but no stun gun needed.
It's okay. Obamma is going to pay for it. Maybe Jesse Jackson. After all they say they deserve all the free money they can give them. I guess Christopher ran out of his free money for the month. And it was only the 10th. Guess they forgot to teach him how to make that free money last the month. Guess that's why Obummer wants to give them a raise. That way they won't have to steal. Yea sure, right.....
Behaving like a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
Obama will be giving free pizzas out soon, shoulda waited. He loves the poor and lazy
@JK-4363698, that has got to be the most asinine and slanderous comment on them that I've ever seen about them on here. If anything, they would, gasp, DEFEND and actually PAY for the pizza! Wow, what a novel concept! Also, pizzarias would totally love them because they happen to be some of their biggest clients. They and their friends are reasons why pizzarias in New York City never get robbed, let alone have stun guns used on their workers.
When I'm president of the world, I'll change the punishments for theft.
For easy math, we'll say people earn their money at $10 an hour. If you steal $100 from someone, you've forced them to work for you for 10 hours as your slave.
What would be your punishment if you abducted someone, and forced them into slave labor for 2.6 hours? That's the punishment this idiotic would be thief deserves.
Can't you use the stun gun to heat them up? Of course that won't do much for the "suck" factor.
Give that pizza man a raize. Gets attacked with a stun gun, and still manages to hold onto the pizzas. Dedicated employee right there.
Fitting punishment would be to make this guy work at Papa Johns' for free for 6 months.If he doesn't show up then off to jail for ten years.This way he can learn what it's like to work for a living and not lay up in an apartment devising ways to harm others by assaulting and trying to rob them.
@Brian, im not sure what the "monkey" comment meant, will not speculate, however,I am quite sure this grown man can spell job, after all, it rhymes with "rob" which is something he wont be doing for a while...
Dedicated? --if he lost the pizza, it comes out of his paycheck!
Wasn't that one of the promises from the current administration? A pizza in every home.
I think fitting punishment would be letting the pizza delivery guy tase this guy back. Five times. When he's not expecting it.
... once in the face and four times in the groin
LOL Darrel. Maybe taze him directly on his eyeball, then the 4 groin shots. Hopefully keep the D-Wad from ever spawning little D-Wads in the future.
Go for that schnozz! Man, that honker would exPLODE!
what happened to the pizza's??
i'd trade them for some short-nin bread...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v5rsEa9vUI
Now the would be robber will get to hear all his favorite pizza phrases. Would you like stuffed crust ? Thin or chewy ? Hand tossed ? Tossed salad with your pie ? And if it takes me longer than 15 minutes to come, it's free ! Unfortunately they won't be talking about pizza. To bad it wasn't Mexican food, because this would be the time to make a break for the border !
Stun gun cartridges can cost $25.
Idiot.
Not when the stun gun is stolen. Then it's like the pizza free....... (or at least that was the hope)
i think you're thinking of tazers.
After looking at the mug shot, I was in complete and total shock! I will bet money that the DOJ will find a way to press charges against the delivery driver for depriving a broke minority of food when he was obviously in need. No one in their right mind would use a Taser to steal food unless they are desperate. Since it was for food and he is a minority, the administration will probably have all of the charges dropped. Maybe if people could find jobs and were not paying $5.00 a gallon for gasoline they might be able to afford pizza every now and then.
What?
Mmmmmm jailhouse pizza.
Idiot is damn lucky he didn't get someone delivering that carries.
Stun gun vs 9mm..... and the winner is............
Whoever ends up with the pizzas?
@XDm9mm Very true. In this day a person would be surprised just how many people carry concealed, legal or not. I'm retired and rarely go where there might be trouble, but at Christmas time this past year, I was approached by five teenagers while parking my truck. They wanted me to pay them, or else. I told them they had a choice, either spend Christmas with family, in hospital or the morgue. The mouthy one looked at me blankly and I pulled back my jacket. "WTF?? Are you going to shoot us?" He asked. Not if you leave right now and don't look back! Needless to say, I was unmolested that day. .380 Bersa Thunder
Good going Dazed. I had two punks try to rob me a few years ago while I was delivering pizzas. Their $2.00 Pakistan junk knife was no match for my Navy Arms 9mm and Rem. 44 Revolver, (one in each face). I still have their knife as a souvanier (pardon my spelling) after they dropped it and took running.
Most large pizza chains don't allow their delivery drivers to carry a gun. It's sad, but company policy. I'm surprised to hear you had 2 guns on you, when delivering. Your employer must not have been a national pizza chain.
.
Great going, Half Cherokee!
My advice to this worthless leech of society is to get a job! Just look in the windows of Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, Old Country Buffet, McDonald's, Hardee's, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Papa John's, and many other fast food restaurants, and you will find "help wanted" signs! They have jobs for dishwashers, janitors, table cleaners, delivery persons, and other positions. Tell them you are a hard worker seeking a job! Demonstrate enthusiasm and excitement about your job, and soon you will be promoted to counter person, cook, cashier, etc. Many of these places provide free food at mealtime for their employees. Check with super markets and chain stores. They need people to stock shelves, bag groceries, work as janitors, etc. Be a responsible citizen! Check with local citrus and vegetable farmers to help harvest the crops! If you are truly seeking work, you can find it in less than 100 hours! In case you did not know, you earn money, by WORKING, and then you are prepared to purchase all the food you need! Read and understand II Thessalonians 3: 10. Remember that "WORK" is honorable and commanded by God Himself! Laziness and theft is an abomination to God!
I have never been out of work, and in my third career in my 70s! Not even a day out of work!
ONE EIGHTH CHEROKEE, ALL AMERICAN , AND PROUD OF IT!!
I have been looking for work and I have a professional resume and I've filled out more applications than I care to count. Yes, I've done the grocery store thing for a while but I want to do something that's a bit more worthwhile. I'm a hard, focused, and dedicated worker, but if no one is willing to give me a chance, then how am I going to ever get a job, dazed and confused-2122889, Half Cherokee All American, Jane Smithh, and E K Kadiddlehopper? In the past month alone, I've filled out about 80 applications online and offline and I've sent out my resume about an equal amount of times. I also had a long period of time when I had to do off-the-books stuff on occasion when I was taking care of my now deceased grandpa, so getting a full-time job wasn't an option because my grandma would have gone to jail had no one else been around to assist her taking care of her husband. She did take care of him quite well but she also had errands to run and family that would come visit her and she also had to stock up on his supplies and groceries, not to mention simply have some me time of her own. I feel that this has hurt me most of all and now I'm in my early 30s. Why won't people give me a chance?
Do you possibly have tats and hardware all over your face?
Well I think a nice long prison term will be due justice for this stupid loser. Hope he likes his prison showers long and hard. He's gonna be somebody's little bitch. And all that for a goddamn pizza. There is truly no limit to human stupidity.
doctor jim... I think uncle "Al" said it best:
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Albert Einstein
Was the delivery guy white? Where is the indignation by the black community on this one?
Yassaar aah cud/shud see sum in-dignity fo thizz "foiludd attempt to rob dis heer pizza man. We simpleey gottz taah du a better job aah teeching deese kiddz how n' wen, to robb sum-buddiees of dere pizzaah'z. Fo sho, fo sho, fo sho. Dus yuse no ... whut aah meenz den?
Lazy bastards hanging out decide to rob someone because they're hungry, rather than getting a JOB and working for a living! They should all go to jail -- in Alabama!
i thought Papa Johns took food stamps???
O.o
Way too funny Mike. and any ways, it is Papa Johns, that is some nasty pizza right there.
I like Papa John's... :(
How about sitting his black a*s in a Stun Chair for the next 3 or 5 years and turn it on while he eats pizza 3 times a day!??
*facepalm* i just..........i can't........... this is the dumbest thing I've read this week.
And three more days to go...
Need more proof blacks are bad?
@trashpd:
Are you freaking serious? Dumb ass, you make this stupid comment on MSN where there are stories of some white man stealing 2 MILLION DOLLARS from some student's family and white men raping little girls AND boys? Your stupid parents must be proud of all their stupid children.
Need more proof blacks are stupid?
Some blacks yes. But blanket statements do nothing but prove you to actually be the stupid one. They have a lot of bad eggs, but many have been able to rise from their lifestyles and become model citizens. Id rather deal with them than the two klan members who decided to post on this thread.(trashpd and fmstereo).
Coming from a mostly white conservative
There are soup kitchens, and local churches that help feed the hungry.
The man can't be broke, because he had a CELLPHONE...to make the call.
That means either he has a phone plan, or a prepaid card. And that means he had money. Or even possible the phone was 'stolen'. Nice clothes. He steal those too? Steal the phone? Attempted to steal food?
Dumb ass thief. I hear they cut off your hands if your a muslim thief. I'm sure we can hand him over to the Taliban. They'll make very short work of his thieving career. Maybe he should be glad he's an american thief.
He had an Obama phone.
What is an Obama phone, does Obama manufacture phones now? Nice post troll, you get the reward for the dumbest political post on a non-political vine. Wooowhoo i bet you having nothing to actually contribute where ever you post.
...there is actually a thing called an Obama phone. My friend was talking about hers and I had to look it up to see what she meant. Just type in Obama phone into Google and you'll find the website for it.
"What exactly is the free Obama phone? The free Obama phone is a program that is meant to help the financially unstable who cannot afford access to a cell phone. Communication should not be limited to people in relation to what they are able to afford. The Lifeline program was actually created decades ago to help low income families have access to land lines. Over the years the cost of cell phones and cellular service has decreased and the program has been extended to cover cell phones."
Copy/pasted directly from its homepage.
Obama has another program he started. Its aimed at the poor inner city black people. They get subsidized tobbacco. And the name of this program? Its called "Cigs for nigs"
Yeah, checks with snopes on the 'Obama phone' and quit spewing nonsense
I don't exactly see the expression of a razor-sharp mind shining through that mug shot, just sayin'
Come on, he was on something, add that to his iq level, and oh boy.
I used to live in kansas City and I walked to work everyday, had no car.
There was a guy who begged for money outside of the Mc Donalds on the Plaza. One day he got really irate with me, I came out of the McDonalds and put a job application in his bucket. He was sitting right below the big window banner advertising they were hiring. Turned out that the professional beggar was featured on 60 minutes about 20 years ago. He was living in a loft downtown and made close to 200k a year begging. Since then the plaza is full of guys just like him.
His name was, is Jerry.
And this is so true, these guys just sit out there trying to make you feel bad for them so you'll give them money, or at least give them money so they leave you alone. When they ask me if I have any change I just shake the change in my pocket and say "yes I do", when they ask if they can have it I say " Hell No, Get a damn job!!!!"
I ask them "Do I look like a change machine?"
I just tell them I don't carry cash in any form. Truthful? No, but I doubt they are being truthful either. On my drive home [through Detroit] there is always a couple who stand at the end of an I-75 exit to 8 Mile Road. It started raining one day and I saw them make a dash for their Mercedes. It was newer and in better condition than what I was driving.
Scumbag beggars in Indianapolis used to congregage at the on-ramps/exit-ramps of the freeways, but this summer they started moving down the street. One guy set up shop on the corner of a bank property. We had some thefts in the area, so I was speaking with a local cop and he told me he hassled one beggar-chick that told him she made $200 every four hours. Every time I see a sucker in front of me roll down their window for these scumbags, I lay on the horn until they roll it back up or until the transaction is over. Once these vermin take hold in your neighborhood, good luck getting them out. Just like cockroaches.
I used to smoke and if one of these lowlife's came up to me and asked for a cigarette, I would either: 1/ look at them, take a drag, then say, "no, I don't smoke" or say, "there were 20 cigarettes in this pack, not 21". Everytime I see people giving money to these lazy S.O.B's, I think, "sucker!".
Thats why whenever I do feel like giving, I will only buy them food. If they are begging outside a gas station and they actually seem homeless, Ill buy them a sandwich or something. I did that for a guy once, who then got angry and said he needed money. I told him toF U C K off. I saw him a few months later when he asked for help and I told him I dont give money to ungrateful jackasses. Never giving him anything again.
It is unfortunate that a certain section of a certain section of the population works so hard to ruin the reputation of that whole section of the population, if you know what I mean...
I know it happens in every race, damn shame really isn't it. Too bad you think it's only a section of a CERTAIN section and can't see past color. Nice try at trying to beat around the racists bush. I have seen purple/orange/poke a dotted/black/hispanic/native/asian/and every other race that has one of everything, mass murders, serial killers, thieves, drunks, abusers. So saying it's only blacks is biased or as I would call it racist.
If the president had had a son, he might look just like collins!
IWonder... Wonder about this: Why don't you go have sex with yourself?
Oh my, my.... Betwixt IWonder's statement and Sam's reply, I laughed so hard I had snot-bubbles coming out of my nose, thanks guys.... LMAO!!!!
Sam he probably tried and was rejected by himself, that's why he's on here typing stupid sh*t.
Maybe he is osama's son!
Sam, it's because it doesn't work (E.D.) and he is bitter and angry and has to take out his racial fallacies on everyone that is of a different pigment color.
30 days (or whatever) for $26 of food seems stupid. But he'll have 3 hots and a cot, so maybe he made off better.
I don't think you guys/girls understand it wasn't the money. It was because these kids are morons and thought it would be funny. Stupid little gangsters... And why pizza guy did you try to save the pizza if they were hot then you should have threw them on the kids. How stupid can they be, well they ordered it at there house and then stayed at there house after it happened... Smart one..Dumbass is in jail now..
dmatthews3... before you start calling people names you should, at least, learn how to speak and spell. "you should have threw them on the kids" Did you mean 'should have thrown'?
"ordered it at there house and then stayed at there house" That would would be: 'Their house.' Be careful who you call "Dumass", dumb ass. Lesson over.
oh my ,the grammer jammer is back,look out everyone,fi skita sam
"It was not immediately known whether Collins has an attorney."
Glad you threw that in.
One will be appointed, cant afford a pizza let alone now an Attorney.
Wonder if Pappa Johns delivers to the jail?
Just an animal.............what a dumbass.
smart looking fella hahahahahahahahahaah HE CAN NOW JOIN HIS FAMILY IN PRISON
It's Bush's fault.......
Damn that Bush, he causes so much trouble. Too funny....
Bush has nothing to do with it you stupid idiot!!! How about if I just say its your mommas fault cause thats how stupid you sound.
LOL Pigpen, I hate politics but nice timing on that one. Rob seriously if you can't read sarcasm you shouldn't be on here, because a lot of people forget to point out they are being sarcastic.
I think the kid was/is an idiot, 19 and will now have a record for trying to steal 26 dollars worth of pizza. Ugh, I don't care what color his skin is, because had this been a white kid I doubt that most the posters would type the garbage they are saying. I think he should pay restitution to the driver, do some time, and be forced to work in a community soup kitchen for a few hundred hours. Or like a poster said above let the driver stun him in his nutts a few times and call it even.
I would bet Mr.Collins is rather well familiar with the court system wouldn't you ? And yea I got to say if it was a white kid I would still think he was a few cards shy a deck as well.
