My personal postal favorite was the mail carrier that got caught with over 5000 undelivered Netflix DVD's in the trunk of his car.

Innocent until proven guilty, but if he's found guilty, lock em up and throw away the key...one less child to get their hands on this crap!

I say they should try drug dealers dealing next to schools or anyplace where there are children like pedofiles.

Charge mailman with coke sales to street dealers across the city

A Jersey City letter carrier moonlighting in the drug distribution business was arrested after police found 170 grams of cocaine in his Lafayette section home during a search, officials said yesterday.

"Mr. (Joseph A.) Tuzzo allegedly was a supplier to street-level dealers, not only in the Lafayette section, but in other neighborhoods in Jersey City," Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said of Tuzzo, who was arrested on May 7.

"There was substantial follow-up investigation that caused this announcement to be delayed."

When police searched the 36-year-old's home at Lafayette and Halladay streets on May 7 they found roughly $4,600 worth of cocaine, a "press" used to compact and package kilogram-size quantities of cocaine, a digital scale, and numerous plastic bags used for packaging the drug, officials said yesterday. Investigators also seized more than $2,000 in suspected narcotics proceeds.

Tuzzo was charged with possession with intent to distribute more than 5 ounces of cocaine, and possession with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school and within 500 feet of public property, officials said, adding that he faces 10 to 20 years in prison if convicted.

DeFazio said the investigation leading to Tuzzo's arrest was triggered by information from concerned citizens about the activity at Tuzzo's home, which the prosecutor described as his base of operation. It does not appear that Tuzzo was selling drugs while making his rounds for the U.S. Postal Service.

Tuzzo has been employed by the USPS as a temporary letter carrier since last September and he worked out of the Bergen North Post Office on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City, officials said.

In March 2007, Tuzzo was sentenced to one year probation after being convicted of possession gambling records in a case that included several co-defendants, according to court records.

Tuzzo's bail was set at $150,000 cash or bond after his recent arrest, but a judge later reduced it to $50,000, officials said.
