The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Friday the recovered mail was addressed to people in Sterling and Fort Morgan.

Authorities haven’t said where or how they found the missing mail.

Tayson Adam Hidalgo, 22, of Sterling is charged with delaying or destroying mail between October 2014 and April 2016.

He didn’t immediately return a telephone message left by The Associated Press.

If convicted, Hidalgo faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

He’s free on an unsecured $5,000 bond and is due in court Tuesday.

A meeting is scheduled in Sterling on Nov. 7 to brief residents on when the mail will be delivered.
