MADISON, Miss. (WJTV) – Madison police arrested a man after he allegedly stole a DoorDash order from a retired Madison County deputy, who was injured in the line of duty in September 2019.

Police said they received a call from Deputy Brad Sullivan around 7:15 p.m. on April 28 regarding a DoorDash order he had placed at Academy Sports in Madison. Sullivan stated he had placed the order for his son, and the order showed it had been picked up by a Door Dasher named “Dennis K.”

According to Sullivan, the manager at the store stated that “Dennis K” did pick up the order and had left the store with it. A short time later, the order was shown as canceled, but Sullivan said he never canceled the order.

Police said Sullivan then contacted the DoorDasher, who was identified as Terel Hampton, of Jackson. Hampton allegedly told Sullivan that he did not have his order and refused to bring it to him.

Through their investigation, police determined that Hampton had exited Academy Sports with Sullivan’s merchandise, and his vehicle was identified. A short time later, police located and stopped the 2016 Chevrolet Impala driven by Hampton.

During the stop, police said they located a firearm, marijuana, and the merchandise belonging to Sullivan. The merchandise consisted of two pair of shoes, two shirts, and a pair of shorts. Officers arrested Hampton for petit larceny, improper equipment, and possession of marijuana while in possession of a firearm.

Police said Sullivan’s merchandise was returned to him, Hampton was transported to the Madison County Detention Center.
