NYC USPS mailman, Zewardy Lewis, caught delivering kilos of cocaine from his truck while on the clock.

NYC mailman caught delivering kilos of cocaine from his truck while on the clock.

Both Lewis and Nery were arrested and the former admitted to receiving the $500 payments per package after they were each charged with cocaine distribution.

A day after his arrest, Lewis was released on a $100,000 bond and court records indicated Nery was released on a $50,000 bond. Their arrests followed the conviction of 36-year-old Billy Ortega Monday who was connected to a “DoorDash-like drug service” from which fentanyl-laced cocaine was delivered to three separate individuals on March 17, 2021, leading to their deaths from overdoses the same day.

He was convicted of one count of narcotics conspiracy resulting in death, three counts of narcotics distribution resulting in death pertaining to first-year lawyer Julia Ghahramani, social worker Amanda Scher and trader Ross Mtangi.

The package, which has a street value of about $60,000 according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, was one of three parcels investigators tracked that came from the same sender, all with delivery addresses around Bed-Stuy, and Lewis delivered the other two packages while working his route.

As reported by the New York Post, Lewis, a USPS carrier since 2013, was said to become central to the OIG’s investigation “after authorities searched a package originating from the Caribbean destined for Bedford-Stuyvesant and found that it contained about two kilograms of cocaine.”

That single package was said to hold a street value of around $60,000 and “was one of three parcels investigators tracked that came from the same sender, all with delivery addresses around Bed-Stuy, and Lewis delivered the other two packages while working his route.”

Court documents indicated that each delivery left the postal worker awarded with $500 from a woman identified as Evangeline Nery. They also indicated that OIG surveillance observed Lewis “making another alleged cocaine drop from his mail truck at Atlantic Terminal mall in Fort Green one Jan. 26.”

It was during that incident that 45-year-old Nery was said to have been witnessed turning an empty plastic bag over to Lewis before briefly entering the mall. Upon her exit, the woman returned the once-empty bag that now appeared to have a “large brick-like object in it.”

When investigators searched Nery’s bag, they discovered a kilogram of cocaine. A search of her cellphone produced messages with “pictures, postal receipts, and packages like the ones Lewis had been delivering,” the special agent told the court.

Additionally, Ortega was hit with one count of use and carrying a firearm in furtherance of the narcotics conspiracy. He faces a minimum sentence of 25 years and up to life in prison.

As for Lewis and Nery, his attorney, Matthew Galluzo declined to comment to the Post and she reportedly could not be reached.

A Brooklyn mailman was caught making special deliveries — kilos of cocaine — on the clock, authorities said.

Letter carrier Zarwardy Lewis, 35, was charged with drug distribution in Brooklyn Federal Court on Friday after the US Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General said he delivered at least three packages of cocaine to addresses across Brooklyn in December.

Every time Lewis dropped off one of the parcels, he received $500 electronic payments from a woman named Evangeline Nery, according to court papers.

Investigators began conducting surveillance on Lewis and witnessed him making another alleged cocaine drop from his mail truck at Atlantic Terminal mall in Fort Greene on Jan. 26, Knieste wrote.

Moments later, Nery emerged from the shopping center and retrieved the bag from Lewis’ truck although this time the bag seemed to have a large brick-like object in it, according to court papers.

Investigators later found a kilogram of cocaine in the bag and searched Nery’s cellphone, where they found messages with pictures, postal receipts, and packages like the ones Lewis had been delivering, Knieste wrote.
