Postal worker arrested for theft worked sorting Sandy Hook condolence mail

Thanks to adio-glay for original tip on arrested postal worker.

"Newtown postal worker Kelly McLean was arrested and taken into custody August 15 after USPS agents stopped her on the I-84 Exit 10 on-ramp, acting with the help of local police, according to reports. Police say USPS agents suspected her of stealing mail for "a couple of months."

Why go all Miami Vice on her--why not just arrest her at work or home? Sounds more like they freaked out about something in particular she may have seen/taken, if you as me.

Earlier, Ms. McLean was in the news as one of those working to sort Sandy Hook condolence mail:

"Kelly McLean sorts generally addressed condolence mail from other mail into delivery routs at the US Post Office December 21, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut. The US Postal Service has set up a special PO Box for receiving condolence and support mail for those effected by last Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School where 20 students and 6 adults were gunned down however the post office still has to sort through mail generally addressed to the victims too."

I agree very much with adio-Glay that this smacks of some connection to the case.
