7/24/2018 Postal service officials launched an investigation last week after a stack of “unattended mail” was found in Baton Rouge, but a Broadmoor neighbor said she saw a mail carrier dumping the letters into a storm drain.
The neighbor, who didn’t want to be identified for fear of retribution, said she was inside her home when her barking dog alerted her to someone outside. When she looked out, she saw a man stuffing the mail into a drain.
“Special Agents from our Baton Rouge, La., office immediately responded and an investigation was initiated,” Lowry said. “Victim notification letters will be sent and the recovered mail will be returned at the conclusion of the investigation. At this time, no additional information related to this investigation is available for public release due to Privacy Act considerations and the ongoing status of the USPS OIG’s investigation.”
Storm drain is as good a place as any, to dump mail.
