On Thursday, November 9, a man allegedly lured a pizza delivery driver to a vacant apartment in Murfreesboro. Detectives say the preliminary investigation shows that 23-year-old Noah Dixon ordered a pizza from Papa John’s claiming to be in an apartment at the Crossing at Hazelwood Apartment Homes. Police say the apartment building was actually vacant.

When the female delivery driver arrived around 1:20 PM, Dixon allegedly approached her, pointed a gun, and demanded money. The victim informed him that she didn’t have any money. Police say Dixon left and went to the College Pointe Apartments on Brown Street. Police allege Dixon gave the gun to his 21-year-old friend once he heard police responding to the attempted robbery.

The gun accidentally discharged in the 21-year-old’s pocket causing a bullet to strike him in the stomach. The 21-year-old was transported to the Vanderbilt Medical Center for treatment. He is in stable condition. According to a social media post from the Murfreesboro TN Police Department, Dixon is being held at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.
