Man mails his finger

A MAN who authorities say mailed one of his fingers to the IRS is now facing charges.

The Seattlepi.com reported that 68-year-old Normand Lariviere, of Olympia in Washington, was charged with mailing a threat to injure after IRS workers in Ogden, Utah, discovered a package containing a fake bomb on July 6.

Charging papers said he also sent his finger, a bullet and a marijuana joint to tax collectors in 2016. Court documents said Lariviere had been upset with the IRS since he was laid off in the 1990s from his job as a civilian defence contractor.
