Postal Worker Indicted For Undelivered Mail Found In Weymouth

WEYMOUTH, MA – A former Roslindale Post Office worker was arrested Tuesday and charged in federal court in connection with embezzling mail. Megan Hawes, 28, of Roslindale, was indicted on one count of theft of mail matter by a Postal Service employee.

Authorities say the offenses occurred from March 10, 2017 to May 10 of this year, while Hawes was employed by the Postal Service.

Hawes was arrested in connection with stacks of undelivered mail found in the back of an SUV in a Weymouth impound lot last month. The car was towed March 30 after it was pulled over for being uninsured and having an expired registration, according to the Patriot Ledger.

The owner of the tow company told the Ledger he found "thousands" of pieces of undelivered mail in the SUV in May after searching the car for information about its owner.

Hawes appeared in federal court in Boston Tuesday afternoon and was released on conditions, the USAO said.
