Working at the Maryville Gardens Post Office, Paige is accused of delaying or destroying mail, risking damage from weather and neglect. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. While the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General investigates, separate audit findings reveal a massive 2.5 million-piece backlog at another St. Louis facility—but no direct link exists between that scandal and Paige’s case. The prosecution, led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gwen Carroll, continues its investigation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
