SHAWNEE, Okla. (AP) - The U.S. Postal Service says a postal worker in Shawnee is under investigation for allegedly hoarding mail.
 
U.S. Postal Service Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jeff Krafels says investigators received a tip last month that the postal employee was hoarding people's mail in Shawnee. He tells the Shawnee News-Star (http://bit.ly/2cHD8oI ) that agents recovered the missing mail on Sept. 2, and that the mail will be rerouted and delivered to customers.
 
Krafels says the person under investigation is now on "non-duty" status.
 
He declined to release further details about the investigation but said the postal service considers the allegations "to be a very serious matter."
