Naked Postal Worker Cited

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had fun reporting this story:



"Naked postal worker takes customer service to nude level"

What a lame headline! "Customer service"? "Nude level"?

INAPPROPRIATE.

The Journal Sentinel has changed the headline of the online version since running the story earlier today.

Now, it reads: "Postal worker arrested for delivering mail while naked"

A U.S. Postal Service carrier said he felt bad and stupid after being arrested for delivering mail to a law firm in Whitefish Bay while buck naked.

David A. Goodman, 52, said he was only trying to cheer up a 21-year-old female employee of the law firm who "seemed to be stressed out" when he made his first delivery to the office Dec. 4, according to a report from the Whitefish Bay Police Department.

Goodman, of the 7500 block of N. Seneca Road in Fox Point, was cited for lewd and lascivious behavior, a citation that carries a $681 forfeiture, police said.

According to the police report, officers were called to the law office in the 300 block of E. Silver Spring Drive shortly after 1:30 p.m. on "a report of a naked postal carrier in the building's hallway."

"No naked subjects or postal carriers were observed by officers," when they checked the parking lot of the building, the report states.

The employee told officers that when "Mailman Dave" arrived at the office about 1 p.m. to make the regular delivery, she mentioned that she still had to pick up the law firm's mail from its post office box.

She said Goodman left but returned about 10 minutes later and knocked on the door.

After the woman opened the door Goodman entered the office, where, "she was shocked to see that he was naked."

"The woman turned away from Goodman, held out her hand and said, "Give me the mail and get out of here."

Goodman immediately began to apologize before leaving the office, only to return about 20 minutes later to apologize through a closed door.

The woman did an exclusive interview with FOX 6 News on Monday. She did not want to be identified.

Listen to her account.

As the victim tells FOX 6 News, "It really, really scared me because I had no clue what his intentions were at the time."

Of course, it would be a frightening experience, not a laughing matter.

The Journal Sentinel should not be joking about lewd and lascivious behavior. Very tabloid.
