Ex-Postal Worker Says He 'Got Lazy,' Failed to Deliver Mail
EUGENE, Ore. — Jan 21, 2015, 10:48 PM ET
A former U.S. Postal Service worker who failed to deliver nearly 1,000 pieces of mail has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor mail obstruction and been sentenced to a year of probation.
The Register-Guard reports that 27-year-old Alex Douma was also ordered Wednesday to pay a $500 fine. He entered his plea in federal court in Eugene, Oregon.
While most of the mail found last summer in two bins on his front porch was junk mail, there were also 27 voter ballots from last May's primary election and more than 200 items of first-class and standard mail.
