Postal worker indicted for stealing

CORBIN — By Becky Killian, Editor

A postal employee has been federally indicted for stealing movie DVDs and drugs, according to an indictment filed Nov. 15 in London’s U.S. District Court.

Arnold Bingham took the movies, which were from Netflix and Blockbuster, while in Knox County from January 2009 through June 22, 2012, the indictment states. He also took parcels containing drugs from Veterans Affairs. The packages were addressed to people other than Bingham.

If convicted, Bingham could face a maximum prison sentence of five years, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release.

An indictment is a formal charge by a grand jury and is not a conviction or an admission of guilt.
