Postal manager accused of selling cocaine, authorities say
A United States postal manager is out of jail on bond Wednesday after being accused of selling drugs from his home.
The York county multijurisdictional drug unit investigated Nicholas Papageorge for about three months. An undercover officer bought cocaine from Papageorge at his home in Fort Mill. When investigators searched the house on June 4, they found five grams of cocaine, which is worth about $500 on the street – 10 hydrocodone pills, packaging items and more.
“He could not produce a valid prescription for the hydrocodone pills,” Sgt. Rayford Ervin Jr. told Channel 9.
Records show Papageorge, 47, is a Charlotte postal manager and makes more than $90,000 a year. Ervin said Papageorge was not getting drugs through mail.
“All the business he was conducting as far as the cocaine was coming from his residence. We never got any information about him doing or dealing cocaine while he was at his work,” said Ervin.

Hang on Poo Poo, Ted and Greg will get ur Inspector sister 2 bail U out.
Most Postal managers are there because they are too friggin’ lazy to work.
Hope that he likes ‘pivoting’ in prison? He’ll be pivoted in ways even he never knew existed! He’s screwed employees for years, now the shoe is on the other foot. ‘Big Luther’, his cellmate, we’ll be drooling when he see Mr. USPS Manager walk in!
He won’t do any time fools….he’s Mgt. they get away with EVERYTHING!
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Sometimes we seriously overestimate the competence of the accused. Most people are not thinking lucidly and rationally when they breach every rule that their mothers taught them. They know better, and if you could figure out why the do stupid stuff anyway, and how to prevent it, you would win the Nobel Prize, by acclimation. Whether you are craft or management, please pray for this misguided soul, and his children and loved ones. If I had to stand trial for all of the stupid **** that I have done in my life, I would be sentenced to 30 days in the electric chair. You know some poor soul like that? If you don’t hurt kids, and you don’t hurt animals, I will plead for you to get a second chance. Go and see this poor soul and put your arm around him. But for the Grace of God, goes I.
Remember, the last thing we want in this world is justice. The last thing we want is “what we deserve.” The young pray for Justice, the old pray for mercy.
Remember David and Bathsheba, and Absolom. No one is immune from stupidity, no matter how mighty. Stupidity are the fleas that come with the dog of being a human being. The fleas that come with the dog.
If he pleads to a misdemeanor offense, which it may be considering it was a relatively small amount of coke, the USPS probably won’t fire him but send him to counseling. I guess that’s fair, because there are lots of people out there with abuse problems, craft and management alike. Unless someone is big time, has repeated offenses, or presents a danger to themselves and other workers, it is only right to give them a chance to dry out and get clean.
Maybe this guy will use this arrest as a wake up call, but given his age, it’ll be hard for him to clean up. Just make sure all postal employees get the same opportunities before they’re canned.
We got rid of one very hooked meth addict, with multiple arrests who would only show up for a few weeks, fake an injury, draw OWCP and get wasted. She was so unstable she couldn’t sit still, talk straight, and got into a couple of wrecks. The Service finally had enough and we’re glad she’s finally history. Meth was more important than a secure job. Sad.
typical of the low IQ, uneducated postal mismanagement scum that lost 60 billion dollars in the last 5 years………..show this to the arbitrator, a non college educated postal mismanager making 90K-selling drugs like a low life, this is not a isolated case……….who are the one’s really over paid in this company. high school/GED idiots trying to play Donald Trump and failing. now watch the A-PEE-U screw up with the arbitrator because they are not labor lawyers………every day is dress up halloween day at the po………..playing roles that they are not educated for.
Name calling when most PO union employees could not get a job cleaning toilets at McDonalds….
You’re right. Infact all of them become managers. Like the union guy that became supervisor few months ago.
By reading most of your comments you couldn’t even qualify to do that! Now hush and be on your way!
Hi, We’ve such a wide variety of people working at the post office. I think where I am anyway most are loyal and care about the job and customers. I think there are very few people who do illegal things. Like drugs. Most of us know we’ve a good job and wanna keep it. But I guess you’ll always find a few who “do unethical” things for extra money. Sad they gotta mess up their lifes and others.
