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.

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.

Why don’t you sign up and show ‘em how it’s done tough guy.
Interfering with US mail is a FEDERAL OFFENSE.
They could always send the carriers in the company of armed guards. That is what I would do.
Bringing OC spray to a gunfight?
Or use the old methods for delivering the US Mail ...
I was unaware there was a gunfight in the offing. Are you on the right thread?
You might get away with pepper spraying an unarmed attacker in Santa Monica. If you shot him, you’d go to prison for a long time.
“Everyone runs inside when we see him coming, especially the women,...”
Santa Monica doesn’t have any men, apparently. Maybe when he walks down the street those Libs all identify as women.
When Liberty Valance rode to town,
The women folk would hide;
They'd hide ...
When Liberty Valance walked around,
The men would step aside ...
“But Price said he has a volatile temper and is often seen menacing neighbors with a golf club.”
A golf club is a deadly weapon. I’d act accordingly.

I’m sure those who attack mail trucks are armed. Aren’t you? A federal employee who uses arms to protect himself and the mail wouldn’t be charged. There was no “you/me” in this scenario.
