A U.S. Postal Service employee threatened to kill his manager who asked for a doctor’s note after multiple absences, police said.
At about 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Quiana Harris called John Lepka regarding the need for the note.
Lepka, an employee at the post office on Stafford Avenue in Scranton, began making threats against James Loughney, another manager, while on the phone with Harris.
Lepka said Loughney couldn’t interfere with “my kids or my money.”
Harris told officers that Lepka said he was coming to the post office in two hours to kill Loughney. Lepka told Harris he was “packing,” indicating he possessed a firearm.
Officers speaking with Loughney noted that he was extremely upset.
Loughney was able to track Lepka in his Postal Service truck and determined he was at the post office in Taylor.
