School employee stabs delivery driver 6 times with pen for being late, police say

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC/Gray News) - A Tennessee school employee is behind bars after he allegedly stabbed a delivery driver with a pen multiple times for being late for a delivery.

Braxton Stewart, a 36-year-old Memphis-Shelby County Schools employee, has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault, according to Memphis Police.

Court documents reveal the alleged incident happened just before 9:30 a.m. Thursday at American Way Middle School. The victim told investigators he arrived late for a delivery at the school, which sparked a heated argument with Stewart.

The confrontation quickly escalated into a physical fight during which Stewart allegedly stabbed the driver at least six times with a pen.

The victim suffered four puncture wounds to his back, one to his neck and one between his eyes, according to police reports. He was taken to the hospital in non-critical condition.

Stewart was scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday morning.
