Mail Carrier Seeks Benefits After Encounter With Unstable Man

A U.S. Postal Service employee in Richmond said she hasn’t been able to get workers’ comp benefits after being traumatized on the job by an apparently deranged man.

Wanda Bennett, a 20-year Postal Service worker, was on her delivery route last month when a man carrying a Bible insisted that she had his mail. When the man threatened her, Bennett ran to get in her vehicle. The man jumped up on the vehicle, CBS 6 in Richmond reported.

Bennett said the incident was especially traumatizing because it brought up memories of her sister, who had been murdered while eight months pregnant.

Bennett said she has a doctor’s note showing she requires medical leave, but the Postal Service has stopped paying her, she said.

CBS 6 Problem Solvers contacted USPS for more information but was told that it was researching the case.
