Florida man throws furniture at mailman because he has no mail [View all]

Police arrested an Ocala man Monday accused of throwing broken furniture at a postal carrier because he didn't have any mail for him.

Aaron Bernard Smith, 27, faces charges of burglary, battery and criminal mischief, according to an Ocala Police Department report.

The mailman told Officer Kyle Drawdy that Smith approached the driver's side of his truck in the 1600 block of Northeast 17th Street. The postal carrier said he tried explaining to Smith that the reason he did not receive any mail was because there was none for him.

The mailman said Smith got angry and struck him with an open fist at least three times on the right arm.
