MOFFAT — The Moffat post office was under lockdown June 24 following an incident with a customer who came in to file an application for a post office box and threatened postal workers when they had trouble verifying his physical address.

According to an incident report from the Saguache Sheriff’s Office, Travis Tomlinson, 27, of Moffat became angry when postal workers said they would call the Sheriff’s Office. He responded by telling them that before law enforcement arrived “something was going to happen.” Tomlinson then became aggressive and struck the plexiglass window; causing minor injuries to a postal employee.

Undersheriff Jim McCloskey responded to the call and was later able to locate Tomlinson at the address given for the application for the post office box. McCloskey read Tomlinson his Miranda rights and asked Tomlinson if he was at the Moffat post office, which he confirmed. He told McCloskey he apologized for his behavior there and so there was nothing to talk about.

He then asked to speak to a different deputy. McCloskey said he then proceeded to advise Tomlinson he was under arrest for assault at the post office and had to repeat himself several times. Tomlinson wanted to argue, the report stated, and denied he was under arrest. McCloskey advised him to open the gate and warned him if he ran, he would be facing additional charges.

Tomlinson finally cooperated and was taken into custody for third-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. While in jail he also was charged with domestic violence-related incidents from an unrelated complaint.

No bail was set. Tomlinson is currently on probation.
