Bloody man found in main post office

A 56-year-old man was found bleeding inside of the downtown Bloomington U.S. Post Office early Thursday morning.

The Bloomington Police Department received an anonymous call at 6:08 a.m. that a man was bleeding inside of the post office, BPD Sgt. Jeff Canada said, reading from a police report.

The post office does not open until 8 a.m. during the week.

The police report said there was blood leading into the building and on the floor of the post office, said BPD Sgt. Jeff Canada. The man was unresponsive to BPD detective Kevin Hill. He had a cut above his left eye that required two stitches and a cut on his left hand.

The emergency medical technicians said it initially appeared that the man had been stabbed, but they later said he might have been struck in the head or fallen.

The man told officers he last remembers riding the Route 2 bus on the Bloomington Transit downtown. He said he thinks an unknown assailant then attacked him and said he wandered off toward the post office.

The man said he had been drinking and did not remember all of the events that occurred.

BPD is asking anyone with information on the incident to call 339-4477.

Bloomington man arrested for dealing crack cocaine
A 26-year-old Bloomington resident was arrested on a preliminary charge of dealing crack cocaine, a class B felony.

Police say Kondawani C. Daniel sold crack cocaine to a BPD undercover informant in late 2007. At the time, BPD only knew him as “Q” and did not have a lot of information on him.

Canada said it took time for BPD to develop a profile for Daniel.

On Wednesday, Detective Cody Forston and Detective Sgt. David Drake noticed Daniel walking on foot near the 2900 block of South Leonard Springs Road and Highway 45.

The detectives were able to track him down and arrest him.
