ANN ARBOR, Mich. - A man was formally charged Thursday for shooting a driver who was blocking his parking spot at a Walgreens in Ann Arbor, police said.
Police said Jacob LaBelle's car was blocked in by a delivery vehicle at the corner of State Street and North University Avenue.
LaBelle, 24, is accused of shooting the delivery driver in the torso right in the middle of the busy street.
"This case involves the discharge of a firearm and the shooting of another human being," the prosecutor said.
LaBelle is charged with assault with intent to murder, carrying a concealed weapon and a felony firearms violation.
Prosecutors said LaBelle called 911 himself and was arrested at the scene.
"He had 25 rounds of 10 mm ammunition in his possession," officials said. "In the trunk of his car was an assault weapon."
LaBelle's attorney argued his client has a mental disorder.
"Mr. LaBelle suffers from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) after being the victim of a serious assault himself," defense attorney John Shea said.

Watched the video - parked in a 15 minute commercial parking space and was upset when a commercial vehicle parked next to the spot.
What an idiot. I have no problem saying that this man Labelle, should not own a gun. Very poor self control and problem solving skills. “No soup for you!”
Guy’s blocking you in so you shoot him. I’m not seeing the reasoning.
I had to click the link just to be sure, but YEP!
He should not own a gun. How to make that happen, I don’t know.
Member of a privileged class?
most prisons don’t allow the inmates to have guns.
Okay, I know where my belly-button is on my torso ... where is the middle of my busy street?
“...where is the middle of my busy street? “
Depends upon where you get the most traffic...
Oh then I guess that makes it OK to shoot somebody.
No redeemable qualities. Hang his ass.
Not a single word about the victim, if he is in life threatening conditions or not?!?
What a useless report by despicable journalists.
Shame on you for posting such trash on FR.
Yeah, like that’ll get the delivery driver to move the vehicle faster...
Don't expect rational reasoning from someone who is irrational.
They don't see the world the same as most folks.
Shooting the truck driver is going to get him to move the truck, right?
In Ann Arbor?
Appears to be a white guy with dreads.
