Vermont State Police say a North Troy woman has been charged with multiple offenses following the discovery of mail discarded in a dumpster. On January 23, 2026, authorities were notified about various pieces of mail found at a residence on Elm Street that were not addressed to that property.
According to police reports, the investigation identified 34-year-old Natasha Morisseau as a person of interest. Morisseau, an employee of the United States Postal Service in North Troy, allegedly disposed of mail under her care, including opened and unopened packages as well as holiday cards. The investigation revealed that this practice may have been occurring since October 2025. Among the recovered items, one opened holiday card was found to contain money. Morisseau was suspended from her postal duties following the incident.
On February 14, 2026, she was charged with nine counts of petit larceny and five counts of unlawful mischief. The case has been referred to the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General for further examination. Morisseau is scheduled to appear in the Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in Newport on March 17, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. All charges remain allegations at this time.
