A Real Life Newman: Mailman Doesn’t Deliver Mail

Neither snow nor sleet stopped a Brooklyn postal worker from making his rounds — he just didn't bother delivering the mail in any weather. A real-life Newman from Seinfeld.

Joseph Brucato was arrested Wednesday after investigators found more than one ton of undelivered mail in his home, locker and car, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court. Brucato, 67, came under suspicion after his supervisor spotted mail in the carrier's car on Sept. 22. Mr. Brucato has an alcohol problem.

Brucato is not authorized to deliver mail in the vehicle. The next day, agents from the office of the inspector general confronted Brucato and he admitted that “he has been keeping mail there for at least six months and that on some days he did not deliver the mail intended for his route for personal reasons.
