    Fort Lauderdale, FL - A U.S. Postal Service letter carrier has been arrested for allegedly stealing mail and selling it on the streets of Fort Lauderdale.

    According to reports, 31-year-old Joey Pierre-Toussaint was apprehended on Monday following a surveillance operation conducted by postal inspectors.
