A FedEx worker has been fired from the company for failing to deliver packages in Bonifay, Florida.
According to reports, Latavion Lewis was identified as the employee by Holmes County Sheriff’s Office. They said that the Alabama native was contacted by officials and agreed to meet with them. During their meeting, Lewis admitted that due to how late it was, he would put numerous packages in various locations instead of returning them to the FedEx warehouse.
Since being apprehended by authorities, FedEx has revealed in a statement that Lewis no longer works for them. “This incident is completely unacceptable as the safe and secure transport of our customers’ shipment is our top priority and we are fully cooperating with authorities in their investigation.”
The statement continued, “In addition to being charged with criminal offenses, the individual involved is no longer providing service for our company.” The delivery company also added that they are “working to ensure that these packages are delivered to their intended recipients.”
Officials added that 44 of the packages that were discarded by Lewis have been recovered and are at the post office in Bonifay. Latavion Lewis was arrested and charged with grand theft, illegal dumping, and an organized scheme to defraud.
