Acting United States Attorney Robert S. Cessar announced today, February 19, 2010, that John M. Stone, a resident of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced in federal court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to serve 12 months and one day in prison, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, and to pay $685.00 in restitution on his conviction of breaking and entering a United States Post Office.

United States District Judge Nora Barry Fischer imposed the sentence on Stone, age 45.

According to information presented to the court during the prior guilty plea proceeding by Assistant United States Attorney Carolyn J. Bloch, Stone, on June 15, 2004, forcibly broke into the United States Post Office located at 115 2nd Street, Neville Island, Pennsylvania, and stole postal money orders totaling $685.00, which he negotiated for the purchase of unlawful drugs.

Mr. Cessar commended the United States Postal Inspection Service for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Stone.
