LOVETTSVILLE, Va. – The U.S. postal worker who was shot outside a Loudoun County post office this month was a package thief who tried to ram his car into a federal agent’s vehicle, police say.
Court records filed in Loudoun District Court say 32-year-old Nelson Clark Jr. was under investigation for stealing packages out of a Lovettsville post office when he was confronted by the Special Agent with the Postal Service’s Office of the Inspector General. The documents say Clark was shot once in the arm after crashing his car into the agent’s vehicle Dec. 4.
