A Walmart delivery driver allegedly pleasured himself feet from the doorstep of the South Carolina woman whose groceries he’d just delivered.
Both Walmart, Inc., and delivery driver Alvin Ortiz are named in a newly-filed lawsuit seeking unspecified damages for recklessness and negligence. Online records accessed by The Post confirm the suit was filed on Dec. 19 in Horry County.
It is alleged that Ortiz, 39, dropped groceries off at the woman’s front door just after 9 a.m. on July 8.
He then returned to his car, which he’d parked in the victim’s driveway, the suit said.
But Ortiz didn’t rush off to his next delivery. Instead, he allegedly sat in the car for 10 to 15 minutes.
When the woman went to check on him, she saw Ortiz had his pants down and he was going to town.
The woman then ran back into her home and grabbed her young child, the suit claimed.
They found a hiding spot and called a neighbor, who walked up to the car and caught Ortiz continuing to pleasure himself.
The neighbor got into a verbal altercation with Ortiz, who drove off before long — screaming violent threats from his car’s window.
Ortiz was arrested for indecent exposure the following day, July 9. The case is still pending before a judge.
It is alleged in the lawsuit Walmart failed to do a full background check on Ortiz. It also stated that Walmart should be liable for the actions of its employees while they’re on the clock.
In a statement to WMBF News, Walmart said “the safety of our associates and customers is always a top priority,” and noted the company’s lawyers “are reviewing the complaint and will respond appropriately to the court.”
