'WHO LET YOU IN?'
THIS is the moment two members of a gated community corner a black delivery driver's truck and demand to know how he got into the private street.
Emotional Travis Miller broadcast the 37-minute ordeal over Facebook live, before he was eventually let out by the two white residents.
Mr Miller had been out delivering appliances, making a drop in the gated community in the Ashford Hills area of Edmond, just northeast of Oklahoma City on Monday.
But as he tried to exit the street, his delivery truck was cornered by a resident who identified himself as 66-year-old David Stewart, president of the Homeowners Association.
In the footage, Stewart -who's white - can be seen demanding to know who gave Mr Miller the code to enter the complex.
The exasperated delivery driver tells him: "I don’t care what your name is. Get out the way."
Speaking to the camera he says: "I'm trying to leave and this is what I'm dealing with.
"I've got super neighbor over here blocking me in."
Stewart still refuses to leave, instead pestering Mr Miller for who gave him the code and telling him: "This is private property....I own 1/16th of this street."
Another man then joins the fray, telling him: "All we want to know is why you’re in here and who gave you the gate code. That’s all we need to know."
I just did the best I could to not make a bad situation worse

But Miller refuses them to give in, accusing the pair of being "nosey" and "using privilege" to manipulate him into sharing the information.
He tries to explain several times he simply made a drop to a neighbor, before giving up and telling them it's "none of your business".
Speaking to KOCO Mr Miller added: "I knew if I get out this truck, no matter what happened, I would have been in the wrong.
"I always say to myself, 'I'm going to go home to my wife and my kids.'"
Eventually the pair phoned the police, prompting a by now visibly upset Miller to also phone and explain the situation.
Following clarification from the recipient of Miller's delivery, officers were called off.
Speaking to 911, Mr Miller said: "He said that he called the cops back and let them know that everything was clear but I didn’t want to leave and have it seem like I was fleeing the scene or anything like that."

After the ordeal Mr Miller told K-FOR TV: 2I just know that emotionally, it was hard to maintain restraint, especially when I’m dealing with death in the family, two family members within two days of each other,."
"I just did the best I could to not make a bad situation worse."
According to reports in The Oklahoman, Stewart is the owner of oil and gas company Raven Resources, based in Oklahoma City.
