SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota postal worker accused of stealing gift cards and other mail has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Kayla Ottmo, 36, of Pukwana, pleaded guilty in November to theft of mail by a postal service employee. Federal authorities say she stole letters, packages, bags and mail that were not addressed to her.
Ottmo, who was employed as a rural carrier associate, took the gift cards and converted them for her own use, prosecutors said. U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier ordered Ottmo to pay $315 in restitution.
