SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) - Federal officials are investigating after a black U.S. postal employee from Missouri received a racist threat.
The Sedalia Democrat reports that the Sedalia postal employee posted a photo of the note on her Facebook page Tuesday night. It includes a racial slur and was written on the back of an envelope.
Jeff Arney, of the Office of the Inspector General, says the incident is being investigated as first-degree harassment under Missouri’s criminal code. He says the office is working to determine if the threat was made or left by a postal employee.
