Samuel Hill says 55-year-old FedEx driver Christopher Burt blocked part of the road on Old Hickory Blvd in February, causing him to become upset. The two got into an argument over the parking location, and Samuel says he was in fear of being assaulted when Burt reportedly threatened to “beat him up.” Police arrived and issued Burt a citation, charging him with assault/fear of bodily injury. He was booked this week.

FedEx Employee Franklin Martin drunkenly drives trailer tugger on his off day
23-year-old “tugger certified” employee Franklin Martin was on the FedEx property outside of his working hours Sunday evening. Officers were called when he would not leave, and though he was slightly intoxicated, he was cooperative and was given a courtesy ride away from the property at 5 p.m. with a warning not to return unless he was scheduled to work. At 9 p.m. Sunday, he returned to the FedEx property, even more intoxicated, and the office initially refused him entrance. He then snuck onto the truck lot and located a ‘trailer tugger,’ which he drove from the truck lot to the parking lot.
