“Postal employees are entrusted to perform a vital service as they travel through our communities, often visiting our homes and interacting personally with our citizens,” said U.S. Attorney John Horn in a statement obtained by LawNewz.com. “The defendants in this case allegedly sold that trust out to someone they knew to be a drug dealer, and simply for cash in their pockets they were willing to endanger themselves and the residents on their routes and bring harmful drugs into the community.”
Prosecutors say that the U.S. Postal Service employees accepted these bribes from a known drug trafficker who was mailing cocaine into the Atlanta area.
