BOSTON – A Saugus man was convicted by a federal jury in Worcester for delaying the United States mail.
Derek Nuzzo, 34, stored mail in his car from various postal routes in Malden where he worked as a letter carrier. On March 2010, there were more than two thousand pieces of mail found in his car, some of which had postmarks dating from early January 2010.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 3, 2012. Nuzzo faces up to five years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Rafael Medina, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Postal Service, Office of Inspector General, Boston Field Office, made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Kanwit of Ortiz’s Major Crimes Unit.
Another embarassment for the hundred of thousand carriers struggling every day to keep up with volume and longer routes…
shame on u Nuzzo and anyone else out there who is reading this if u are doing the same thing//SHAME…SHAME…
“there were more than two thousand pieces of mail found in his car, some of which had postmarks dating from early January 2010.”
Isn’t that just GREAT.
What is the postal service DOING to check on their carriers to be sure all mail is delivered?
I can’t count how many times I’ve been missing mail or had it OPENED and NOBODY gave a crap.
How about giving customers SURVEY FORMS. That way people don’t have to endure this kind of treatment for MONTHS/YEARS before something is done.
great going Nuzzo!…… Its going to be NOTHING FOR NUZZO….ONE LESS CARRIER OUT OF THE RANKS!
