On Friday, federal authorities arrested Ottis McCoy for stealing United State mail and dumping it in the woods instead of delivering it to his assigned route in Orlando.
According to court documents, a co-worker told McCoy’s manager that he had returned from his route earlier than expected despite leaving with a “very large quantity of mail.”
The manager checked McCoy’s vehicle’s GPS and learned that he had deviated from his route to a wooded lot where the co-worker found several pieces of mail scattered around.
