(KISSIMMEE, Fla.) — A pregnant woman who ordered pizza in Florida was stabbed 14 times by a delivery driver who police say was disgruntled over her $2 tip.<\/p>\n

Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the Riviera Motel in Kissimmee, Florida, over reports of a home invasion and stabbing on Dec. 22, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by ABC News.<\/p>\n

Arriving deputies located a victim, Melinda Irizarry, who was stabbed multiple times and was then transported to an area hospital.<\/p>\n

She underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured lung and suffered stab wounds to the chest, arms, legs and abdomen, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Irizarry is currently in stable condition, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said in an update on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Authorities identified 22-year-old Brianna Alvelo as the delivery driver and suspect in the case, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Officials say that Irizarry placed an order at Marcos Pizza Shop and 30 minutes later the suspect believed to be Alvelo arrived at their motel with the order, which totaled $33.10.<\/p>\n

Irizarry handed the suspect a $50 bill and requested change, however, to which she was told it was store policy not to provide change, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n

After getting smaller bills to fulfill the order, Irizarry ended up giving the driver a $2 tip. After the incident, Irizarry told deputies the driver “rolled her eyes and walked away without saying anything,” according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Officials said Alvelo allegedly later returned to the victim’s motel room with an unknown male suspect — who was armed with a firearm — and “forced their way into the room.”<\/p>\n

Alvelo, who deputies say was armed with a knife, attacked the victim and stabbed her 14 times, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Police say items were also taken from the motel room in the invasion.<\/p>\n

Alvelo was arrested on home invasion with a firearm, attempted murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault violations, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Officials say the unknown male suspect is still at large and request anyone with information regarding the case to contact Crimeline at (800) 423-8477.<\/p>\n
