A former postal employee who admitted to stealing mail to support her child and her drug habit was sentenced to two years in prison last Thursday.
Kiesha Brown, 32, was sentenced after pleading guilty to one count of theft of mail matter. The judge also ordered her to pay over $155,000 of restitution: The intended loss caused by Brown’s theft was about $245,000, but the actual loss was around $155,000, prosecutors say.
Prosecutors say Brown committed these crimes while employed as a city carrier assistant at the L.C. Page Post Office in Norfolk. According to the website OpenPayrolls.com, Brown worked in Norfolk as a postal carrier for the past seven years.
