Harrisburg, PA – A former postal employee is facing federal charges after allegedly stealing mail from his colleagues.
Vashaurid Gibbs, 24, was indicted on October 16, 2019, by a federal grand jury for theft of mail by a postal employee, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The indictment alleges that Gibbs removed money from letters, postal cards, packages, and mail that had come into his possession as a postal employee on July 8, 2019.
The case was investigated by the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian T. Haugsby is prosecuting the case.
Gibbs is presumed innocent until found guilty in court. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
The federal sentencing guidelines require the judge to consider a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances, and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public, and provide for the defendant’s educational, vocational, and medical needs.
A sentencing hearing will determine the actual sentence imposed by the judge.
The United States Attorney’s Office encourages anyone with information about this case to contact them at (717) 221-3674.
