BOSTON – A Roxbury man pleaded guilty today to stealing iPhones from the mail and making false statements.
Mark Dozier, 58, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Senior Judge Mark L. Wolf to theft of mail by an employee of the postal service and making false statements. In February 2013, he was charged in superseding information. Sentencing is scheduled for May 28, 2014 at 3p.m.
While working as an employee at the U.S. Postal Service, Dozier was caught stealing iPhones from the mail sorting machine. He confessed to stealing 12 iPhones over the course of several weeks and reselling them at a local barbershop. Dozier also lied about his identity on his application to become a Postal worker, using his brother’s name and date of birth rather than his own.
Dozier faces a maximum of five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine on each count.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and Rafael Medina, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Postal Service, Office of the Inspector General, Northeast Area Office, made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Eugenia M. Carris of Ortiz’s Public Corruption and Special Prosecutions Unit.
No surprise here. In 37 years I saw more thieves than you can count.
So what would you rather have…your mail stolen by Federal employees at the USPS or clerks at Staples stores?
The vetting procedure for PSEs is as follows:
Can you spell your name?
Can you say the oath that is required?
Is English in your top three languages?
Have you committed any felonies?…wait don’t worry about this one.
Have you any issues that would prevent you from working regularly? …never mind this one either.
You are hired..congrats. Now we will work you like a slave until you quit!!!!
I wonder who watches the inspectors. Must be a lot of opportunity there when you police yourself.
I wonder why so many MDOs and maintenance mangers are caught steeling and how many years they have been getting away with it.
wonder how long that low life worked for the USPS?
The Post Office needs to hire more honest and hard working people!!!
