I wish my mailman cared half this much about porch pirates. “Half” being a key word there . . .
A Florida mailman is facing charges after he allegedly tried to run over a 10-YEAR-OLD CHILD for stealing a package he’d just left on someone’s porch.
41-year-old William White Jr. was delivering mail in Pensacola on December 27th when he saw the kid ride by on a scooter with a box he’d just dropped off.
Cops say he tried to hit the kid with his mail truck to get the package back. But luckily, the boy was able to bail at the last second. He ended up in the hospital with an ankle injury. His scooter ended up under William’s truck.
But here’s the worst part: It turned out the kid WASN’T actually stealing the package at all. William had dropped it off at the WRONG ADDRESS. The boy was just being nice and bringing it to his neighbor.
William’s now facing charges for theft, criminal mischief, and aggravated assault.
(Here’s his mugshot.)
