Postal worker sold bags ‘chock full’ of mail for $300, feds say. Now, he’s sentenced

A postal worker from Virginia is accused of stealing mail from at least 10 people and selling it in trash bags.

Terell Taylor, 40, pleaded guilty to theft of mail by a U.S. Postal Service employee and has been sentenced to 20 months in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said in a July 12 news release.

Taylor’s attorney declined to comment to McClatchy News, citing local rules about speaking to the news media. “Mr. Taylor himself has communicated that he is extremely disappointed in his actions and has regrets for committing the offense,” his attorney wrote in a position on sentencing memorandum.
