William White Jr., a U.S. Postal Service carrier in Florida, was arrested for trying to run over a 10-year-old boy with his postal truck because he thought the child was stealing a package. In fact, White had left the package at the wrong house, and the boy was taking it to the right house. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, when White saw the boy riding his scooter with the package, he drove toward him and ran over the scooter, only narrowly missing the boy. He then put the scooter in his postal truck and drove off. White has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, petit theft, and criminal mischief.
