A Shelby County woman convicted last week of shooting at a DoorDash delivery driver’s vehicle when they accidentally tried to make a delivery at her house in 2020 said she felt “threatened” at the time.

Nancy Creasy, 53, of Indian Springs, faces between two years and 20 years in state prison following her conviction last Wednesday after a two-day trial in Shelby County Circuit Court, the county district attorney’s office said in a statement on Monday. She was found guilty of shooting into an occupied vehicle and five lesser offenses, including menacing.

Creasy, in an email to AL.com, took issue with the report stating she was intoxicated at the time.

“This is a Saturday. Yes, I had a few beers but I was not intoxicated and I was at my home,” Creasy wrote.

The Indian Springs resident said she lives “off the grid” and never has food delivered to home. However, three different drivers, she said, approached her home in a seven hour period that day.

Creasy wrote she does “not want strangers” to know where her house is located. “None of the drivers identified themselves as (DoorDash). They said they were but never proved such.”

Creasy wrote that she was “threatened” by three different men that day “and only wanted to warn this (third) person to go away.

“I wanted him to know I was armed. My mother (is) on hospice was in my home and I am to protect her and myself.”

Asked to comment on Creasy’s statement, Ben Fuller, Shelby County’s Chief Deputy District Attorney, said she had claimed during the trial that she was not intoxicated and that she felt threatened.

“I think the jury’s verdict speaks for itself as to the weight they gave her testimony relative to the evidence against her.”

Fuller said the jury convicted her even after being instructed that if they found she acted in self-defense they should find her not guilty.

“Creasy, through her attorneys, stipulated to the admission of DoorDash records that showed that the victim was in fact working for DoorDash and had a delivery for an address adjacent to Creasy’s, which resulted in the mix-up,” Fuller told AL.com.
