He resigned Thursday, sources said

An Alabama mailman is out of a job after he was caught on camera this week tossing mail into a ravine.

The disgruntled postal worker was shown Monday on cell phone video just outside Birmingham tossing the parcels from his delivery van before driving away.

Sources told AL.com that the video led the unidentified postman to resign Thursday, the site reported.

The person who posted the video to YouTube told the website that the spot where the mail was chucked out of the van is a hilly area on the city’s south side overlooking the skyline.

Office of the Inspector General Special Agent Kenneth D. Smith declined to name the person in the video, but did confirm to AL.com he offered his resignation.





‘As with any ongoing OIG investigation, I can't comment on specifics,’ said Smith. ‘However, I can confirm the individual in this situation has resigned from the Postal Service as of this afternoon.’

Smith also declined to say if the individual would face criminal charges for his actions.
