Allegheny County jurors found a suspended Pittsburgh postmaster from Canonsburg guilty Friday after almost two days of deliberations on obstructing law and some other charges stemming from allegations he threatened subordinates who saw him opening packages suspected of containing drugs.
Daniel Davis, 51, of Canonsburg, was also found guilty on three counts of intimidating witnesses and one each of criminal coercion and official oppression. The county district attorney’s office accused Davis of lying to a federal investigator and threatening the physical safety or careers of four separate postal employees between August 2014 and January 2015 to protect himself from consequences for opening packages when he didn’t have the authority to do so.
