Tiffany Isenhart, Theft of Government Property, West Virginia 2024

Crime Hits the Post Office: Former Employee Sentenced for Theft of Government Property.

BECKLEY, W.Va. – In a shocking case of corruption, former U.S. Postal Service employee Tiffany Isenhart, 31, of Rainelle, pleaded guilty to theft of government property and faced the music in a federal court. Isenhart, who abused her position to steal $3,380 in money orders, has been sentenced to one year and six months of federal probation and ordered to pay $3,380 in restitution.

According to court documents and statements made in court, between December 1, 2023, and April 16, 2024, Isenhart stole the money orders while employed at the Charmco Post Office and converted them to her own use. Isenhart admitted that she used her position as a United States Postal Service employee to issue the money orders to herself without paying for them or paying the associated fees.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service-Office of Inspector General, who commendably identified the discrepancies in Isenhart’s activities. United States Attorney Will Thompson praised the investigative work of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service-Office of Inspector General.

United States Magistrate Judge Omar J. Aboulhosn presided over the hearing and imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorney Alexander A. Redmon prosecuted the case, ensuring that Isenhart faced the full force of the law for her crimes.

Isenhart’s case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of accountability within government institutions. The public trusts those in positions of power, and when that trust is broken, severe consequences must follow.
