Carrier hoarded mail Jan. 19, 2001 | 8:38 p.m. DES PLAINES, Ill. (AP) -- A postal carrier is accused of not delivering thousands of letters, magazines and other mail. Robert Hudson, 36, was questioned by authorities after a van full of undelivered mail was found blocking an alley near his Des Plaines house last week, Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office said. A felony federal complaint was filed Thursday against Hudson, who worked for the past six years out of the Des Plaines Post Office, some 15 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Postal inspectors found more than 1,700 pieces of first-class mail and more than 13,500 pieces of bulk-rate mail and periodicals inside the man's garage and house, the complaint said. |
