The federal government is investigating a postal delivery worker after special agents discovered trash bags filled with undelivered mail outside his home in Baldwin, Pennsylvania.
According to VICE, the man in question, Sean Troesch, is suspected of discarding bags of mail for weeks and believing in the QAnon conspiracy.
Troesch previously posted multiple memes on Facebook about QAnon, “the disproven conspiracy theory about a massive secret pedophile ring and sex-trafficking enterprise organized by Hollywood elites and Democrats,” the report stated. An anonymous source shared screenshots of Troesch’s social media posts, which criticized the media for not looking into the QAnon claims, anti-mask memes, and accusations against celebrities for their roles in the false claims.
Sunday night, the agents arrived at Troesch home after responding to a tip about a man placing suspicious bags on the curb for pickup outside. When on the scene, eight bags of undelivered mail were recovered by the agents.
“USPS OIG Special Agents recovered several different classes of mail, including business mail, flats, and [a] small amount of first-class mail,” Special Agent Scott Balfour told CNN. “We expect to perform a piece count of the mail today, and make arrangements to have to mail delivered to customers as soon as feasible.”
Balfour stated that Troesch is currently on a non-duty and non-pay status.
“Once USPS OIG special agents conclude their investigation, the case will be presented for federal prosecution to the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” he said.
Last week, a mail carrier was charged by the Justice Department in New Jersey for dumping mail.
Documents from the court say that Nicholas Beauchene, 26, was accused of disposing of 1,875 pieces of mail in two dumpsters. Among the dumped mail were 99 general election ballots.
He was arrested and charged with one count of delay of mail and one count of obstruction of mail. If he is found guilty of both charges, he faces up to five years and six months in prison, along with a $255,000 fine.
