Anderson woman claims postman pepper-sprayed her dog through the mail slot on her front door

ANDERSON, Ind. (WTHR) – Watching the beginning of the video from a Ring doorbell, you’d think it was just your friendly local postman dropping off your mail. But according to Kerrigan Cronk, he stuck more than a few letters through the slot in her front door.

“My blood was boiling. I was furious. I just didn’t know what to think. I was upset, furious. Everything in between,” Cronk explained.

In the video, you can see the postal worker deliver the mail to her home in Anderson, then reach back into his bag — searching around for something.

That’s when Cronk said he pulled a bottle of pepper spray out and began spraying it at her 1-year-old Dalmatian, Palmer, through her mail slot.

“I don’t understand it because he stuck our mail in the slot and then went out of his way to spray our dog. He could have just stuck the mail in the slot and then walked away, but he chose to stay and continued to spray our dog,” Cronk said.

Cronk said after she realized what happened, she filed a claim with the USPS and called police.
