The accused mail carrier, Thomas Beaurem, was arrested Monday afternoon.
In October, video surfaced showing a postal worker dropping several bins of mail near a fenced area. The mail was supposed to be delivered to residents in Longview Walk, a Decatur subdivision. Thousands of letters were thought to be scattered.
