NEW ORLEANS – In a shocking case of postal malfeasance, a former postal employee has been brought to justice. Miles J. Duperon, a 29-year-old resident of Slidell, Louisiana, has been sentenced for his role in delaying U.S. mail.
According to the bill of information, Duperon committed the crime between July 2019 and January 21, 2020. During this time, he unlawfully delayed U.S. mail intended to be conveyed by mail, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1703(a). This federal statute specifically prohibits postal employees from delaying or destroying mail.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, under the leadership of U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans, praised the work of the United States Postal Service, Office of Inspector General for their tireless efforts in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney M. Irene González led the prosecution against Duperon.
On April 19, 2022, U.S. District Judge Greg G. Guidry handed down a sentence of one year of probation and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee. This sentence marks the culmination of a long and complex investigation.
The case against Duperon serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and trust in our nation’s postal system. The public relies on postal employees to deliver mail and packages efficiently and securely.
