BANGOR, Maine – Mellony Hafford, 37, stole multiple money order forms while working as an employee of the U.S. Postal Service.
Between approximately May 2016 and April 2018, Hafford falsified several of the money order forms to conceal other fraudulent money orders she made out to herself, and to conceal her theft of cash that had been received in sales at the post office.
The U.S. Postal Service Office of the Inspector General and the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) investigated this case with TIGTA’s involvement supervised by William Kalb, Special Agent in Charge, North East Field Division.
Hafford faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. She also faces up to three years of supervised release.
She will be sentenced after the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office.
This case serves as a reminder that postal employees who engage in such fraudulent activities will be held accountable.
Hafford’s crimes are a betrayal of the public’s trust and a threat to the integrity of the U.S. Postal Service.
We will continue to work tirelessly to protect the public and uphold the law.
