Rural Carrier LeAnne Valvoda was recently delivering a parcel in Rush City, MN, when she encountered a domestic assault in progress.
Valvoda safely de-escalated the situation, then contacted the local Postmaster to report the incident.
After the sheriff’s office was notified, a deputy arrested the assailant, who faced a misdemeanor assault charge.
The deputy later visited the Rush City Post Office to thank Valvoda for getting involved, telling her that her actions possibly saved the victim’s life.
