FAIRFIELD — The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is looking for leads concerning a postal carrier who got shot with either a pellet gun, BB gun or some other type of firearm while delivering mail Wednesday on Utah Street.

This carrier went to the hospital and was released, said Pauline Bellinger, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Inspectors are investigating the case, but know of no motive for the attack, she said.

Assaulting a postal employee is a federal crime. The agency has a standing $50,000 reward in such cases for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect. People with information can call 877-876-2455.

“We are very desirous of finding the perpetrator of this crime,” Bellinger said.

I hope that money is ample reward to bring information forward. The person doing this is dangerous to everyone. Very serious actions.

I thought measure P was supposed to stop Fairfield from turning into Vallejo. I guess you need to feed the welfare state and the police state some more with higher taxes and spending.
