Two Jersey City mail carriers were arrested this week for selling marijuana when they weren't delivering most of the mail along their routes. 47-year-old Hector Pacheco Sr. and 37-year-old Al Spencer were arrested Friday afternoon with a third man as police raided a home and finding Pacheco wearing his postal uniform while grinding up marijuana to be deposited in bags that would be sold for $20. Cops seized 4 and half ounces of weed and Pacheco Sr.'s letter carrier bag, which still contained undelivered mail.
