A former U.S. Postal Service worker was sentenced Thursday to 24 months of probation for criminal conduct related to her employment.
According to court documents, Tammy Frink, 50, of Beardsley, Kansas, pleaded guilty to one count of opening of mail by a postal employee.
On September 21, 2022, Frink, while working at a post office in McDonald, Kansas, opened a sealed greeting card destined for an address in Missouri. Frink did not have authority or permission to open the piece of mail.
Frink was ordered to serve 60 hours of community service and to pay a total restitution of $1,686, with the U.S. Postal Service receiving $1,075 and $611 to five individuals who were victims in other instances of mail theft linked to Frink.
