Bay Area postal worker sentenced to federal probation in bank fraud, marijuana theft cases
"A Bay Area woman whom prosecutors say “abused her position of trust as a United States Postal Service employee” to steal marijuana from packages and joined her brother in a $99,700 fraud scheme avoided additional jail time at a sentencing hearing this week. Carolyn Powell was sentenced to three years of supervised release, but U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg turned down prosecutors’ requests to sentence her to six months in federal prison. "
