JEANNETTE, Pa. -- Jeannette police say a postal worker lied when he said he was mugged outside a post office all because he wanted a break from life.

Jeff Gogets, 50, had facial bruising when a fellow employee found him unconscious at the side entrance to the Jeannette post office in April.

Gogets said he'd been attacked from behind and his son, Nick Gogets, told Channel 4 Action News that $150 was missing from his father's wallet. At the time Gogets told police that he didn't remember anything because it happened so fast.

However, Channel 4 Action News' Ashlie Hardway reported that police said surveillance video gathered by postal inspectors showed no attack.

Narrator: You had to give it to him: he had a plan. And it started to make sense, in a Tyler sort of way. No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.

Didn’t link to the article but I’m guessing “Little Nicky” gave daddy a good whuppin’ for the scam (and probably enjoyed every minute!).

Jimmy Stewart as the enterprising postal inspector. Richard Conte as the backsliding letter carrier.
Lee J. Cobb as the postmaster.
