A former high-ranking CNN executive is accused of leaving dog feces in his neighbor’s mailbox.
Covington police say the victims of the incident, Benjamin Dameron and Ralph Miller, have video of Bob Furnad walking with his dog up to the mailbox and placing a bag filled with the feces in their mailbox.
“Mr. Furnad stated that he did place a bag containing dog feces in the victim’s mail box,” Covington Police Capt. Ken Malcom told WGCL-TV.
Furnad told the Covington News that he pulled the prank due to a long-standing feud with the two.
“This was an immature act in response to years of malicious rumor mongering that I consider defamation of character,” Furnad told the paper.

Just a little symbol of CNNs ratings
If he didn’t pay the proper postage for the dog feces, he’s gonna be in big trouble...
It’s against the law to go into anyone else’s mailbox. At least, that’s my understanding. Fed offense?
OWS crapping on cop cars and now this. Anyone see a pattern?
Heck, back in early 60s high school, a couple of us used to fill paper bags w/ some fresh dog poop, put it on a nasty guy’s porch, light it, ring the doorbell, run like hell, hide and watch. It was hilarious to see him stomp-it-out and the poop fly everywhere on the porch and him! Cops got us eventually, and we had to scrub/disinfect the porch. They were chuckling while we scrubbed.
Something about this story smells funny.
In character - his network has been leaving it all over our TV screens for two decades, now.
That’s right; blame it on the dog . . .
Good joke but there is something weird here. His neighbors were two guys with different last names and there were “rumors”? Something is up in that neighborhood.
Except under 2.11, the receptacles described in 1.1 may be used only for matter bearing postage. Other than as permitted by 2.10 or 2.11, no part of a mail receptacle may be used to deliver any matter not bearing postage, including items or matter placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mail receptacle. Any mailable matter not bearing postage and found as described above is subject to the same postage as would be paid if it were carried by mail.
And 2.10 and 2.11 talk about newspaper receptacles and delivery.
But I'm not sure whether or how the prescriptions in that manual may take on the power of Federal law, or whether there are other Federal laws that may cover mailbox access and usage. Also, I'm not sure whether dog feces would be classified as "mailable matter", perhaps if classified as ORM-D material, which may be OK to mail.

Girl fight.
Any matter that is a source of an obnoxious odor is nonmailable.
I’m pretty sure it is a federal offense to tamper with a mailbox not your own.
CNN leaves dog feces on my TV every time I surf to their disgusting channell.
Yep, unless you are a postal employee or it’s your mailbox, the law says hands off.
It’s why these other idiots keep strapping pizza coupons and Chinese menus to my door with rubber bands.
