Huntsville mail handler destroyed, withheld mail for 6 months, prosecutors say

A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted a Huntsville mail handler who prosecutors say kept mail from being delivered for half a year.

According to court documents, Alexander Dockery, a mail handler at Huntsville’s General Mail Facility, “did knowingly and unlawfully secrete, destroy, detain and delay letters, postal cards, packages, and mail.”

The indictment covers a period from June 1 through Nov. 30, 2018.

There has been no date set yet for a hearing in the case.
