MINNEAPOLIS—A federal indictment unsealed late yesterday charges a former employee of the United States Postal Service with embezzling thousands of dollars from a Minnesota post office.
Kathleen M. Warner, age 52, of Otsego, was indicted on one count of misappropriation of postal funds, according to the indictment filed on March 12, 2013.
The indictment alleges that from approximately February 2010 through August 2012, Warner embezzled funds from her cash drawer and removed stamps and other merchandise without paying for them.
The indictment, which was unsealed following Warner’s initial appearance in federal court, charges her with embezzling approximately $10,365.57 from the Brooklyn Park Post Office.
Warner, if convicted, faces a potential maximum penalty of ten years in prison.
It is essential to note that an indictment is a determination by a grand jury that there is probable cause to believe that offenses have been committed by a defendant.
A defendant, of course, is presumed innocent until they plead guilty or are proven guilty at trial.
