Santa Monica police arrested the man suspected of assaulting or harassing three letter carriers in a three-month period - but he is back on the street because authorities say his crimes aren't enough to keep him behind bars.
Residents of the 1300 block of 14th Street haven't gotten their mail for half a week because of three attacks by Davon Ray Morgan, 38, on postal workers since January, according to the United States Postal Service.
'Delivery is temp suspended; this is an unusual, but a necessary step to protect our employees,' USPS spokeswoman Natasha Garvin tweeted on Monday.
**SNIP**
Jim Price, who lives next door to where the letter carriers were attacked, said he witnessed one of the incidents.
'I watched the whole thing,' he said. 'He was screaming in the [postal worker's] face. Extremely threatening. He said 'I'm going to f--- you up.' He's six-feet tall. He's scary.'
Price said that Morgan moved in with an elderly woman on the block and works on and off as her caretaker.
But Price said he has a volatile temper and is often seen menacing neighbors with a golf club.
'Everyone runs inside when we see him coming, especially the women,' Price said.

Womyn.
Repeal the 19th.
Didn’t interfering with mail delivery used to carry serious felony charges? I guess if you’re the protected class you can get away with anything.
Don’t USPS letter carriers generally have OC spray for dealing with threatening dogs? They did once upon a time.
This guy should have gotten hosed down.
Actually it's a federal crime. Why hasn't the local federal prosecutor filed charges?
Yes. Why are not the postal inspectors doing something. Perhaps putting one in back of postal truck with a 12 gauge. When the bum attacks spring out yelling April fool MF while firing. Worked well in NYC in 60s stopping liquor store robberies.
Most of the mail I get is junk mail I never asked for. Maybe the USPS has outlived its usefulness, especially if they’re such pussies that they can’t deliver the mail safely.
More of the same liberal application of the live and let live agendas. The same swoop that brought you and stuck you with joe biden… guess what, whilest government run usps assisted.
What happened to all those firearms and ammunition that the Postal Service purchased under Obama?
Very good question.
Probably because this insanity of social justice has thoroughly permeated the Democrat Party to the point of immobilizing the basic parts of government necessary for Soviet to function.
The Democrat party should not be permitted to control any part of government until they totally repudiate the Social Justice philosophy.
Or shoot the non breeders. Give them a choice. That’s fair.
Isn’t this federal...attacking a postal worker?
I’m sure The Postal Inspectors Service will get right on top of this as soon as they’re finished surveilling white supremacist’s Facebook posts.
How are they going to be able to pay their bills? And apply for Ivy League colleges?
You get what you vote for. Embrace the suck!
My son used to live on 12th street..
Very nice area, but the homeless run rampant through that part of town..
Have an armed person follow the mailman and if attacked, shoot and kill the attacker attempting to murder a federal employee.
When a few are dead, the attacks on the carriers will cease
USPS should hire a couple pilots to fly over the sewer and push their mail out. Let them deal with the crap.
