Fuming Michigan homeowner locked in five-year battle to keep mail carriers off his lawn which have cost him hundreds in damages

A man in Michigan is seeking justice as mail trucks continue to savage his front lawn.

Benny Hunt, a resident of Waterford, detailed the strange saga last week, claiming the truck have been driving on his lawn for years.

As he spoke, a mail delivery driver from the United States Postal Service (USPS) pulled up, driving past Hunt's house and onto his neighbor's portion of the sidewalk. 

A reporter from WXYZ proceeded to give chase, asking the driver why she had traversed the curb to maker her deliveries.

The driver did not answer, as Hunt claimed the same thing has been happening on his front lawn for the past five years.

'I literally have the best lawn on the block, so it hurts when I see somebody drive through it!' a visibly frustrated Hunt told the outlet.

'I have an estimate for $500 in damages.'

Detailing those damages, he said: 'They ran over three or four solar lights, destroyed them. Four or five different American flags, destroyed them,' Hunt said.

Reporter Sarah Michals at this point asked what the taxpayer-funded drivers say when confronted with the concept that driving over the curb messes up the homeowner's property. 

'What do they say to you?' she asked.

'It's a safety hazard,' he said.

Hunt went on to explain how he and his wife, who have a young son, have complained repeatedly complained to local authorities by filing police reports, all to no avail.

When the problem persisted, he even tried moving his mailbox to form a sort of roadblock, he explain - a maneuver that resulted in USPS issued its own complaint.

'They say it’s a safety hazard for the carrier delivering my mail,' he claimed. 'They refuse to deliver my mail.'

He insisted that that defense came in despite the fact that some of his neighbors have their mailboxes in nearly identical positions.

At this point in the conversation, the USPS truck pulled up, seemingly noticing the news crew and passing by Hunt's part of the sidewalk.

When the driver refused to talk, Michals went down to USPS carrier annex for answers, where they also refused to discuss the subject.

Citing how he's been met with similar pushback in his half-decade quest for answers, he told the outlet: 'I called 43 times yesterday, not one answer.'

When asked about the subject last week, the USPS responded in this brief statement: 'The Postal Service will reach out to the customer to resolve any delivery issues. 

'The Postal Service apologizes for the inconvenience this has caused the customer,' it concluded.

After hearing the statement, Hunt responded by stating, 'I still have no mail. 

'This is what I’m dealing with for five years, round and round and round,' he said, at one point sitting out front with his son amid concerns for his safety.

When asked about the incidents, cops in the town of 70,000 said it was illegal for cars to drive over sidewalks and onto private property, but did not state why not case had been filed.

Hunt, meanwhile, said he is planning on suing USPS for damages, as he remains locked in a bitter stalemate.
