HIGHLANDS RANCH — An overnight mail handler stole more than 11,000 packages over two years before he was caught by federal agents, 9News reported.
David Schmauder, a 48-year-old former U.S. Postal Service employee, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of theft by mail in federal court Monday.
A plea agreement calls for Schmauder to be sentenced to 1 1/2 to two years in prison at a sentencing hearing in November. The plea deal details Schmauder’s penchant for pinching packages from the post office where he worked in Highlands Ranch.
Upon being observed and caught by USPS special agents in January, Schmauder admitted to stealing about 50 packages two or three nights a week since January 2008.
