Ex-U.S. Postal worker from Brooklyn sentenced for stealing high-end shoes, phones

CLEVELAND, Ohio— A former U.S. postal worker in Brooklyn was sentenced to one month in prison for stealing high-end shoes and phones from the mail.

Brandon Williams, also known as Brandon Trotter, worked as a processing clerk in the Brooklyn post office when he stole the items, according to federal prosecutors.

U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi ordered Williams to pay $8,797 in restitution, the total amount of items he stole. She also ordered Williams to serve three years on post-prison supervision.

Lioi allowed Williams, 33, of Cleveland Heights, to self-report to prison at the direction of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

Williams previously pleaded guilty to one count of theft of mail by a postal employee. Authorities arrested Williams in September.
