BOSTON – A supervisor for the U.S. Postal Service was sentenced today in federal court in Worcester for stealing packages containing cocaine on at least eight occasions.
Kevin Dombroski, 43, of Worcester, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni to 13 months in prison and three years of supervised release. In August 2022, Dombroski pleaded guilty to one count of theft of mail by an employee of the U.S. Postal Service.
Dombroski was employed as Postal Service Supervisor at the Worcester Main Post Office. On eight to 10 occasions, Dombroski stole packages that had been mailed from Puerto Rico to addresses in Worcester he believed would contain cocaine. Specifically, Dombroski removed said packages from the main processing area of the Post Office and took them into a private office where he would open the parcel and remove the narcotics before returning the package back to the floor for delivery. Dombroski then sold the contents to an acquaintance, who paid him $7,500 for each package.
United States Attorney Rachael S. Rollins; Matthew Modafferi, Special Agent in Charge of the Northeast Area Field Office of the U.S. Postal Service, Office of Inspector General; and Matthew Millhollin, Special Agent in Charge for Homeland Security Investigations in New England made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen Noto of Rollins’ Worcester Branch Office prosecuted the case.
