Pot-Smoking Mailman Burns the Mail

A postal worker too lazy to deliver mail after smoking too much weed has been charged with multiple counts of “claiming payment for undelivered mail” in Britain.

The postal worker, who was found with $13,000 worth of marijuana plants in his home, set fire to over 10,000 pieces of junk mail that he decided no one would want anyway (he was probably right).

Goddard pleaded guilty to delaying post, three charges of claiming payment for junk mail he had not delivered and a charge of burning mail.

He was sentenced to 12 months in prison. Albeit, it is a crime to collect money for work that has not been done, but 12 months seems a little harsh for someone who actually did his neighbors a favor: getting rid of their junk mail for them.
