A former Montgomery postal carrier is facing 20 years in prison after being convicted of one count of postal theft by an employee and three counts of mail fraud.
James Glover, 44, allegedly stole checks and documents containing financial information from the mail. The stolen checks were altered or used to create fraudulent checks and then deposited into bank accounts by Glover and others.
“The U.S. mail system is a vital part of our daily lives,” United States Attorney Jonathan S. Ross said. “Mail carriers are entrusted with access to enormous amounts of sensitive information. Abuse of that trust must have consequences. This prosecution is a result of our commitment, along with the commitment of our law enforcement partners, to protect the millions of letters and packages processed by the United States Postal Service each day.”
