PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - In a story June 15 about a woman who pleaded guilty to stealing veterans’ medications, The Associated Press erroneously identified her employer. She worked for UPS Inc., not the U.S. Postal Service.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Ex-UPS worker pleads guilty to stealing vets’ medications
