Letter burner is Postman Pot
A POSTMAN has been jailed for burning thousands of letters he was too lazy to deliver because he smoked too much cannabis.

Neil Goddard, 32, set up his own cannabis factory in his bedroom and grew £8,000 worth of plants.

But he smoked so much of his own product that he became too wasted to keep up his day job.

He decided he just couldn't be bothered to deliver all of his mail and instead burned it in his back garden.

Around 10,000 items went up in smoke - mostly junk mail but also hundreds of potentially vital letters and parcels.

Judge Stephen Ashurst gave him a 12-month-sentence at York Crown Court and said: "All postmen know that those who interfere with the post in the course of their work face severe consequences.

"They are inevitably sacked and very often go to prison.

"You went to very considerable lengths to set up what I regard as a professional cannabis unit. I could not possibly justify passing a community sentence for what you did."

Goddard, of York, North Yorkshire, claimed extra cash to deliver junk mail as well as his normal round.

But in reality he was dumping most of it back at his house and then burned it in a pit in his garden.

When drugs cops acting on a tip off raided his house they found sacks of undelivered mail.

There were 227 letters and parcels and a staggering 9675 leaflets which should have been delivered between April 2007 and March 2008.
Cops also found cannabis growing equipment in his bedroom and around 80 plants.

David Dixon, mitigating, said: "This was laziness brought about by excessive cannabis use. He stopped delivering junk mail which some may say was a public service.

"He used cannabis to cope with depression and his mother's death. Being arrested has acted as a wake-up call."

Goddard pleaded guilty to delaying post, three charges of claiming payment for junk mail he had not delivered and a charge of burning mail. He also asked for ten more offences of claiming payment for undelivered junk mail to be taken into consideration.

He also admitted growing cannabis and was convicted of intending to supply it to others after a trial in April.
