Chicago postal worker charged with delivering drugs

gavel 20149/21/2016 A U.S. postal worker in the south suburbs is charged with making special deliveries — of the illegal variety.

 arvin Jones, who worked in the Tinley Park post office, is accused of picking up packages containing marijuana and delivering them to two south suburban men.

Jones was placed under surveillance in May after the postal inspector general’s office received a hotline tip.

Packages containing drugs and bearing phony California return addresses were sent by an unidentified person to the Tinley Park post office between May and August, according to a federal criminal complaint.

The parcels were addressed to legitimate south suburban addresses, but the occupants’ names were phony. Jones allegedly intercepted them at the post office.

He affixed an orange “vacation hold” label to at least one of them before delivering it to Poindexter, the complaint said.
