The female suspect is accused of spitting at the postal office supervisor and being belligerent.

On Friday, the woman reportedly “lost it” upon getting her mail, and threatened to “blow off the worker’s head,” according to the police report.

“(She) then used her index finger and thumb to make the shape of a gun and then pulled her hand back, making the motion of a gun being fired,” the report reads. “(The woman) then spit at (the worker) ... the saliva landed on the left sleeve of his shirt.”

While the woman was in the parking lot, she reportedly continued to scream racial slurs at the worker.

Dayton police are continuing to investigate.
