A former Prince George’s County letter carrier was sentenced to a year in prison for destroying mail he was supposed to have delivered.
Warren C. Bradford, of Upper Marlboro, was a 15-year veteran of the U.S. Postal Service and worked out of the Capitol Heights post office.
In June 2009, customers on his route began reporting that they didn’t receive mail for days at a time, according to prosecutors. That September, someone saw a postal worker, later identified as Bradford, unload mail from a postal service vehicle and discard the mail in a secluded area in Capitol Heights.
Police officers who responded found the undelivered mails and a large amount of burned mail in a wooded lot, prosecutors said.
