According to the indictment, 38-year-old Adam Gallagher is facing one count of violating federal postal laws while employed by the U.S. Postal Service. The agency report said the incident occurred on Oct. 29, but details were not released about what type of mail Gallagher is accused of stealing.

If found guilty, Gallagher could face a maximum sentence of five years in prison and fines of up to $250,000.
