The attempted robbery of a pizza delivery driver Sunday night has three adults and a juvenile facing charges in Hanover County.
Their attempt, however, left one suspect with injuries after the victim shot him in the face.
According to Capt. Michael J. Trice of the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, Brandon D. Floyd, 26, of the 7200 block of Cold Harbor Road, was transported to VCU Health System for treatment of his injuries.
Brandon had approached the victim with what appeared to be a rifle. it was later determined to be a BB gun.
The victim pleaded with Floyd to stop, then produced a handgun from inside the vehicle and fired one round in the direction of the suspect, striking him in the face.
The incident took place around 10:30 p.m. after the victim completed a delivery in the 8000 block of Possum Trail in Mechanicsville.
Trice said investigators have determined that the driver was followed from his place of business to the point of the attempted robbery.
Also charged in this incident were Adrian R. Seay, of the 7000 block of Drinkard Way in Mechanicsville, and Mark W. Long, 25, and a 17 year-old female, both of the 4300 block of Rockhill Road in Mechanicsville.
Long and Seay are incarcerated in Pamunkey Regional Jail. The juvenile is being detained in a juvenile facility. Floyd will be taken into custody when he is released from the hospital.

This idiot tried to rob somebody and got shot in the face. Are we supposed to be saddened by this? I hope more “attempted-robberies-by BB gun” end like this. Hopefully with better marksmanship.
