New York mailman allegedly kept 813 pieces of mail, including 3 ballots, USPS says

Buffalo mailman Brandon Wilson, 27, was charged with one count of delay or destruction of mail, according to a criminal complaint prepared by Brendan Boone, a special agent with the USPS Office of Inspector General.

Wilson was crossing into Buffalo from Canada on Tuesday, over the Peace Bridge, when Customs and Border Protection officers — "as part of a standard CBP vehicle sweep" — asked him to pop the trunk of his 2016 Chevrolet Impala, according to Boone.

That's where they found 813 pieces of mail, including three absentee ballots that never made it to their appointed destination, authorities said.
