Walmart Delivery Drone Shot Down by Florida Man

Author Budman

A Florida man, Dennis Winn, is in a whole heap of trouble for taking a shot at a Walmart delivery drone. This crazy incident went down in Clermont, a town about 26 miles from Orlando. According to USA TODAY, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office got a call about a drone with a bullet hole in its payload. Yeah, someone actually shot at the drone! Come on man. What did that thing do to you?

Witnesses pointed fingers at 72-year-old Winn. When the police caught up with him, he didn’t even try to deny it. He admitted to firing one shot at the Walmart delivery drone with his 9 mm pistol. In the police bodycam footage, he said he tried to scare the drone away, but when it didn’t leave, so he went all Dirty Harry on it. Winn joked about his shooting skills, saying he must be a good shot since he hit it. But he also realized he might need a good lawyer soon.

Now, Winn’s facing some serious charges. He’s been hit with shooting at an aircraft, criminal mischief causing over $1,000 in damage, and discharging a firearm in public or residential property. That’s a whole lot of trouble for one shot at a drone.

Walmart started this whole drone delivery thing back in 2021. By 2022, they were flying drones in Texas, Arizona, and Florida. They teamed up with DroneUp and later added more companies like Wing and Zipline to get the job done. Walmart bragged about completing over 20,000 safe deliveries in two years. They’re even planning to expand the Walmart delivery drone deliveries to 1.8 million more homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

So, while Walmart’s drones are out there delivering your Chick-fil-A and Wendy’s, Dennis Winn is stuck figuring out how to defend himself against some pretty hefty charges. Maybe next time, he’ll just let the drone do its thing.

Ranking All 21 Walmart Stores In Southwest Florida Best To Worst

In the heart of the everyday, tucked between the mundane and the magnificent, lies a place that defies all expectations: Walmart and I ranked all 21 Walmart stores in Southwest Florida Best to Worst.

Step through its automatic doors, and you’ll find yourself in a world where shopping carts become bumper cars, fashion takes a turn towards the weird and you witness things so far out of the ordinary you wonder if you’re seeing straight. I saw a meme the other day that is so fitting, particularly for me, for the Walmart on Fort Myers Beach that read “I think it would be great if Walmart added an upper level observation deck with a full bar.” Truer words have never been spoken. And here in Southwest Florida, there are Walmart stores from Port Charlotte to Naples and everywhere in between.

I’m a big fan of Walmart, always have been. The fact that I can go get my groceries for the week, a new bathing suit and a ceiling fan all in one place is perfect. Big one-stop-shop kinda girl. But let’s face it, the People of Walmart website doesn’t exist for nothing. It’s a place where “athleisure” meets “I-just-rolled-out-of-bed chic,” and where mismatched socks are a fashion statement.

How I Created the Ranking of Walmart Stores in Southwest Florida:

There are 21 Walmart’s in Southwest Florida. Let’s face it- some Walmart’s are just better than others. Whether they’re cleaner, the customer service is better, one is newer than the other, etc. Because I haven’t been to all of them, thanks to Google reviews, let’s see where they rank.
