CINCINNATI -- A United States Postal Service (USPS) worker tossed mail into a dumpster in Bond Hill Wednesday, rather than delivering the letters, paychecks and notices to their rightful owners.

The female worker was caught on tape disposing of the mail, and she could soon face federal charges.

A property manager and several residents nearby saw the worker in the act as she tossed a tray of mail into a dumpster in the 4800 block of Paddock Road, just off Norwood Lateral Parkway.

Neighbors one street away from the dumpster wondered Thursday why their mail never showed up. Alicia Carr said her stepmother, her sister and her friends complained about missing mail.

"People missing out on bills, missing out on letters, it could be just anything, anything important and necessary you're missing out on because they're (postal worker) doing stuff like that," Carr said. "It's crazy."

Calvin Harper lives further down the street, and said his mail was not delivered Wednesday.

"I'm a little saddened by it because you rely on the postal system and they've failed you," Harper said.

Residents on Paddock who caught the woman on camera said the USPS came to the dumpster after hearing the complaint, and then retrieved the mail from the trash.

 

WCPO learned Thursday night that the letter carrier, who was not immediately identified, could be charged with federal misdemeanors for deserting mail and delaying mail delivery.

Well if it was junk mail I can understand, but if she doesn't like her job then quit, don't throw the mail away!
