Texas postal worker gets probation for theft of mail

The Odessa American reports that Myung Ashley, 53, has been sentenced to four years probation on her conviction for mail theft. The paper reports that Ashley “took two Academy Sports gift cards from a Christmas card addressed to a Monahans resident and a third gift card from a greeting card addressed to a Midland resident. Investigators linked Ashley to the gift cards after they were used at the Academy Sports in Midland.” Ashley had faced up to ten years in prison.

In 2006 Ashley filed an EEO complaint alleging sexual harrassment as well as discrimination based on her age, sex and race. The alleged discrimination took place when she was a general expediter at the Midland plant, and had resulted in a suspension for one of the harassers. The Administrative Judge hearing the case found that the allegations were not severe enough to take further any further action. Ashley appealed the decision to the EEOC, which dismissed her complaint in December 2009.
