James Belardo, 41, was charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
The USPS employee is the third person arrested as part of a West New York drug ring, according to officials.
The prosecutor’s office did not specify his alleged role in the drug dealing operation or whether he used his job at the post office for dealing.
