A former U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employee from Brush Prairie, Washington, has been sentenced for stealing medications from the mail.
Darcy Rae Nolan, 57, pleaded guilty to theft of mail by an officer or employee on November 10, 2025, and was sentenced to two years of probation. The court ordered Nolan to pay restitution.
According to court documents, from February 2024 through December 2024, Nolan, as a city carrier for the USPS Parkrose Station Post Office, stole medications from the mail on at least 15 occasions by manipulating USPS records regarding parcels or opening parcels and stealing the medications. A search of Nolan’s purse and vehicle recovered approximately 137 pills and capsules that were later identified as five different types of prescription amphetamines.
Nolan was working as a city carrier for the USPS Parkrose Station Post Office in Portland, Ore., when she committed the crimes. The USPS Office of Inspector General investigated the case.
First Assistant United States Attorney William M. Narus and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Trisotto prosecuted the case.
Nolan’s actions not only compromised the trust of the public but also put the health and safety of individuals at risk. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the integrity of our mail system.
The case against Darcy Rae Nolan is a prime example of the consequences of committing crimes while working in a position of public trust.
