Two Tulsa employees of the U.S. Postal Service have been arrested on allegations that they had been pilfering narcotics from packages.

Federal and state authorities raided residences in Rogers and Tulsa counties on Wednesday, arresting three people and confiscating dozens of pounds of marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, firearms and hundreds of tablets of other narcotics, according to an arrest report.

Derek Miller, 38, of Tulsa and Laura Mae Campbell and David Michael Watters, both 47 and from Claremore, were arrested Wednesday on various drug complaints.

Miller and Campbell allegedly had been taking narcotics for at least three months from packages sent through a Tulsa USPS distribution center.

Wayne Stinnett, an investigator for Rogers County District Attorney’s Office, said the employees had a method of determining which packages addressed to certain locations would likely contain narcotics.

“They developed a knack for doing it,” he said.

Watters, who is Campbell’s husband and a retired USPS employee, was in possession of the narcotics at their Claremore residence, authorities said.
