A Washington County, Wisconsin, man who pleaded no contest to firing a shotgun at a food delivery person in February 2022, has been sentenced to five years in prison plus an equal amount of extended supervision, according to reports.
FOX 6 in Milwaukee reported that John Norman, 33, agreed to a plea deal in January, pleading no contest to first-degree recklessly endangering safety. As part of the deal, Norman’s charge of felony bail jumping was dismissed.

An investigation found that Norman ordered pizza through DoorDash, and when the driver arrived with the food, a shotgun blast was fired through the door by the suspect.
Norman told investigators he ordered the pizza and accidentally fired the shotgun when the 46-year-old female delivery driver from West Bend arrived.

Deputies ordered Norman to come out with his hands up, and although he refused at first, he ultimately complied.
Deputies noted in the criminal complaint, FOX 6 reported, that Norman’s eyes were "severely bloodshot" and he showed signs of intoxication.
When investigators searched the home, they found a 12-gauge shotgun on the floor by the couch, a loaded Glock, shotgun shells and more ammunition.
Court documents stated that Norman was out on bond for an incident in 2021, which included second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
