HOUSTON (AP) — A UPS driver has been fired after a Houston homeowner posted security video that shows the delivery man throwing a parcel over a gate and urinating against a house.
UPS officials apologized to homeowner Ben Lucas for the Jan. 8 incident.
Lucas said Tuesday that he checked his surveillance video after finding that the parcel was broken open and some of the items inside damaged, including ammunition and a gun-cleaning device.
The video shows the delivery man hurling the package over a gate, then unzipping his pants and relieving himself on the property.
Lucas contacted UPS and posted the home security video to social media.
The company says the seasonal employee was fired because his behavior was unacceptable and his actions violated decency and delivery care.
