USPS Worker Allegedly Struck Person With Truck, Laughed Hysterically

http://gawker.com/usps-worker-allegedly ... 1642487668" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A postal worker in Bellevue, Wash. allegedly went on a hysterical rampage on Friday morning that resulted in hitting a town resident with her truck not once, not twice, but three times, all while laughing hysterically.

The USPS worker was reportedly yelling obscenities at someone outside of a local elementary school when a town resident looked on, horrified. When the unidentified person attempted to photograph the scene, the postal worker then took matters one step further and drove her truck into the person's legs. When the resident nearly fell, the postal worker did it again, and then one more time for good measure.

Via The Seattle Times:

The resident staggered back and the driver struck the resident's leg two more times.

According to the resident, the postal worker was "laughing hysterically" as she drove forward.
The postal worker was then taken into custody and questioned by officials. No reports on the unidentified person's injuries have been released.

It rains a lot up there. People get moody, drink. Sometimes there's not always a happy outcome.

Back in 2011, another postman from Washington State got arrested for the whole "dumping the mail" bit. He'd report to work, then drink in a bar all day before going home to burn what he was supposed to deliver that morning in his backyard:
Investigators followed Farrell on a route, watching as he spent his day at a tavern before taking the mail to his home and burning it in a fire pit. A search of Farrell's residence uncovered nearly 8,000 letters.
