Charges against Cushingberry, who is being held at the Marion County jail, are pending as the investigation continues, WISH-TV reported. No further information was immediately available.
Postal inspectors announced Tuesday that they were offering as much as $50,000 for information leading to a suspect’s arrest in the case.
"Anyone who threatens, assaults or otherwise harms a postal employee fulfilling her critical mission will be apprehended and held fully accountable," Felicia George, acting inspector in charge for the agency's Detroit Division, said in a statement.
