Cops: Mail carriers delivered ‘ice’ through mud, sleet and snow

A rural mail carrier is charged with delivering methamphetamines, Maj. John Cagel with the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office said Friday.

Darlene Crane Waters, 45, and her live-in boyfriend Glen Alan Corindia, 46, were arrested based on an undercover operation that came from of a tip that Waters allegedly delivered drugs to a mailbox.

“We developed a source that Ms. Waters would be inclined to sell us ice [meth],” Cagel said. “We made phone contact and ordered up.”

The undercover investigator was told to leave money in a mailbox.

“She [Waters] picked it up and returned with a phone book and the meth in it,” Cagel said.

She also left $40 change, Cagel said.

The undercover agent then ordered more drugs but the second time was told to come to the Waters-Corindia house. The two were arrested when the officers tried to pick up the second drug order on May 22.

Waters is charged with possession and intent to distribute methamphetamine, manufacturing and possession of marijuana and two counts of using communication frequencies for criminal use. She is free on $25,200 bond and has been suspended from the U.S. Postal Service.

Corindia, also a mail carrier, is charged with possession of marijuana and methamphetamines and manufacturing marijuana. He is free on $21,000 bond and has returned to his route.

U.S. Postal Service inspectors also are investigating and Waters and Corindia also could face federal charges.
