Police: Postal worker 'laughs hysterically' trying to run over person

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- A postal service worker has been arrested for trying to run over someone who was documenting the worker's offensive behavior toward another person, Bellevue police said.

It all began just after 11 a.m. out front of Phantom Lake Elementary School. The victim was waiting in his car to pick up his child when he overheard a loud argument on the street between a postal worker and another driver over a parking issue, said Seth Tyler with Bellevue Police.

"The victim overheard the postal worker allegedly yelling obscenities very loudly at the citizen and thought that was inappropriate behavior," Tyler said.

The victim walked over in front of the Jeep an in effort to take a picture of the serial number and make a complaint to the Postal Service. But as the victim readied to snap the photo, the worker put the vehicle into drive and intentionally hit the leg of the victim, police said. The victim staggered back and the worker hit the leg two more times, laughing at the victim, Tyler said.

"(The victim) said when she was driving toward him, she was laughing hysterically as if she had just heard a joke," Tyler said. "So that's very concerning to us that she would exhibit that type of behavior."

Tyler said the Jeep was driving at slow speeds and the victim didn't suffer any serious injuries and was able to call 911.

Officers were called to the scene and arrested the 55-year-old postal worker for investigation of fourth-degree assault, Tyler said.

Police said the woman would be interviewed by officers and U.S. Postal Inspectors.

U.S. Postal Service spokesperson Jeremy Leder said the woman would be put on emergency suspension if arrested, adding they aren't aware of any prior discipline history with the worker.

I was at the Post Office today. The woman in front of me was choosing a box that would allow her to ship something cheaply. The sleepy clerk was answering in unhelpful grunts until he caught on that the woman was Asian and not a good speaker of English. She was clearly having trouble with the communication and just needed a little help to figure out how to save money.

At that point, the clerk sprang into action:

"Wellladyyoucanchoosealotofdifferentboxesandtheyallcostdifferentamountsthatonethereis12.65anddependingonwhereyouregoingitmightbeagoodchoiceoryoucanchoosethatotherboxandits19.95andthatmaybebiggerthanyouneedyougottalotofoptionsandthe12.65maybegoodforalottapeoplebutmaybenotyouifyouwantthatpackagetoarrivereallysoonsoyoucouldchoosesomethigndifferent..."

I was thinking, "You bastard. You just want to he as unhelpful as possible, don't you?"

Sociopath.

KOMO News has a LONG history of not printing a criminal's name or photo when the criminal is black, even when the name and mugshot have been released by the police.  It's entirely possible, but unless another news outlet releases more information we may never know anything more about the perp.

So how many weeks of emergency suspension fully paid extended vacation will this person get before being brought back in to work in the exact same vehicle?
