Sheila Fullmer, Theft of Mail, New York 2015

Rochester, New York – A shocking case of postal service corruption has come to light with the arrest of Sheila Fullmer, a 60-year-old mail clerk from Caledonia, NY.

According to authorities, Fullmer was employed as a mail clerk at the Rochester Processing and Distribution Center, where she was assigned to the manual mail sorting area. However, on October 20 and 21, law enforcement agents observed the defendant stealing gift cards and other items.

Fullmer was also seen using a gift card that had been reported missing by its sender. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The defendant made an initial appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian W. Payson and was released pending further proceedings on December 7, 2015, at 9:00 am.

The investigation was led by the United States Postal Service, Office of the Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Monica Weyler, Eastern Area Field Office.

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

In this case, the defendant was charged with theft of mail, a serious offense that undermines the public’s trust in the postal service.

The outcome of this case is yet to be determined, but one thing is clear: the postal service will not tolerate corruption in its ranks.
