Some in N.D. finally get late mail

The mail finally came through for some southeastern North Dakotans this week, though some of it was up to 10 years late. Authorities said the mail was found in a former Wahpeton postal worker’s home and garage last spring.

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — The mail finally came through for some southeastern North Dakotans this week, though some of it was up to 10 years late.

Authorities said the mail was found in a former Wahpeton postal worker’s home and garage last spring.

Allen Prochnow has pleaded guilty to charges he delayed or destroyed about 4 four tons of mail over 10 years.

Authorities said the Postal Service seized and sorted the mail, and plans to deliver as much as possible.

Prochnow, a former Richland County sheriff, is to be sentenced next March. His plea agreement calls for probation.
