PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland letter carrier says he stole more than 10,000 pieces of mail to feed his toddler and pay for his methamphetamine habit.
John P. Osborn appeared at an arraignment Friday before a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge on 114 charges of mail theft and 30 counts of identity theft.
The Oregonian reports he has pleaded not guilty.
Osburn was hired in June 2013 as a part-time employee. He did not have a dedicated postal route.
A storage locker registered in Osborn’s girlfriend’s name was put up for auction when the rent went unpaid. When it was opened Tuesday, the owner found paychecks, financial statements, medical test results, vehicle registrations, utility bills and legal correspondence.
