AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Police say a northeast Ohio man was
arrested after attacking a mail carrier who didn’t bring a check he was
expecting.
Twenty-five-year-old Robert Kiefer allegedly assaulted
the 56-year-old postal worker on Saturday, squirting the carrier with
his own pepper spray and biting him in the leg. Then, police said, he
fought with officers who tried to arrest him.
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/1bFYVkv
) reports that officers found Kiefer and the postal worker in a fight, with a small crowd surrounding
the two men.
Police said they finally subdued Kiefer with pepper spray. The postal worker was treated for bite marks
and cuts.
Kiefer,
facing misdemeanor charges of assault and resisting arrest, remained in
jail after being unable to post bond. Online records did not include
attorney information.
