CEDAR FALLS – A Cedar Falls man who allegedly stole pain medicine from veterans’ mail will be sent back to Tennessee for allegedly violating his pretrial release.
Craig Christopher Diciccio, 47, was detained last week and waived transfer back to Tennessee where he awaits sentencing on one count of federal mail theft. Court records allege Diciccio violated the terms of his pretrial release.
Diciccio had been a maintenance supervisor at the Postal Service’s Knoxville Processing and Distribution Center in May 2017 when the Postal Service Office of the Inspector General began investigating missing packages of medication sent by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
Investigators confronted Dicicco in November 2017, and he allegedly admitted to stealing 24 Veterans Administration packages between April and October 2017. He said he had become dependent on pain medicine after back surgery two years earlier……
Hope this SOB is put away.
