Kentucky postal worker jailed for stashing mail

Brent Morse, a 34 year old Kentucky resident and former postal worker, was charged with six months in prison for hording around 44,900 pieces of mail that he failed to deliver. Most of this mail was supposed to go to around 250 homes in the Dawson Springs community between March 2011 and March 2013. He said the only reason he didn't deliver the mail was because “he wanted to pick up his kids from school every day at a certain time.” He stored all the mail in his dead mother’s house and storage facilities close to his house and mail route. Morse isn't being charged with stealing what was inside the mail, but is being ordered to pay around $15,000 for the losses the stolen mail caused its recipients.
