UPS driver attacked in attempted robbery in Surgoinsville - The Rogersville Review
A UPS driver was attacked on Nov. 3 in Surgoinsville in what appeared to be an attempted robbery.
The attack occurred on around 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 on Highway 11-W near the Lone Oak Road intersection.
When Hawkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Ed Rodriguez spoke to the victim, he told Rodriguez that he had been flagged down by two males in a red Chevrolet Cavalier. He initially thought it might have been a customer, so he pulled into the right emergency lane and stopped the UPS truck.
“One male approached the driver’s side of the UPS truck and [the driver] then quickly closed the door,” Rodriguez stated in his report. “The other male walked to the passenger side and began to step inside. [The driver] then made him step off the truck, and that is when the male grabbed [the driver] and pushed him hard against the side of the truck.”
