An Omaha USPS driver is under fire after mishandling a package being delivered to a Elkhorn home on Tuesday.
A homeowner's security camera captured the video of the U.S. Postal Service employee throwing a package out of a truck window and onto the driveway.
The homeowner tells 6 News that he contacted the USPS by email, which included a link to the video. The homeowner says he could forgive someone for having a bad day, but says he thinks the incident showed incredible disrespect. Although the contents of the package weren't breakable, the unnamed homeowner believes the employee should lose their job.
The homeowner showed 6 News an email from a USPS supervisor he received that said in part: "We are working on the removal of this employee immediately."
In a statement to 6 News, a USPS spokesperson said: "We have reached out to the customer to apologize for this failure in service. A mishandled package is unacceptable and does not reflect the careful efforts of the thousands of professional, dedicated carriers and clerks in our workforce. This personnel performance matter will be handled appropriately."
