COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va. (WSET) – An 18-year-old Jimmy John’s delivery driver has been charged after he hit a gaggle of geese in Colonial Heights, according to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
DGIF officials say the incident took place along Roslyn Road on October 24.
They say Roberto Pietri drove through a gaggle of geese, killing two of them.
VDGIF says Pietri was charged on October 25, after a concerned citizen brought the incident to the department’t attention.
He’s facing three misdemeanor charges: driving with a revoked license, unlawfully hunting and killing a wild animal, and killing migratory game bird in violation of board regulations.
A DGIF spokesperson told WTVR this appeared to be an accident and that Pietri was “unable to stop.”

I’m suspect he will get off. They usually do. Jimmy John is a big-time hunter, by the way.
Well at least something was done, and the charges will follow him. Driving with a revoked license, so there has been trouble before. Unable to stop? Or didn’t want to take time because he was on a schedule. Delivery pizza, how earth-shattering could that be.
This reminds me of the times I have stopped traffic to allow geese to cross. Many give me dirty looks (wtf do I care?) but many time you get thumbs up too. 🙂 Poor babies, they try to hurry, but people are too impatient. That’s Ok, traffic will come to an abrupt halt when I see geese or other wildlife trying to cross.
accident my ass….
