The check might be in the mail, but the mail is in the woods.

A man is accused of dumping three pallets worth of 32,000 pieces of mail enroute to a U.S. Postal Service facility.

The driver for a postal contractor dumped off the mail in a wooded area. He told investigators that he was having some personal issues and had been drinking that night. He said he was planning on coming back and delivering the pallets another time.

The man was charged with “desertion of mails.”
