Deanna Wisdom was sentenced to five months prison (time served) and five months of home confinement on federal mail theft charges, Acting United States Attorney Michael W. Reap and Phelps County Sheriff Rick Lisenbe announced today. She was also ordered to pay approximately $4000 restitution.
According to court documents, on September 10, 2008, Wisdom possessed items that she stole from a mail route. She used the stolen mail in order to commit bank fraud and credit card fraud.
Wisdom, 24, Phelps County, MO, plead guilty last August to one count of possession of stolen mail, and appeared today for sentencing before United States District Judge Rodney W. Sippel, in St. Louis.
Reap commended the work on the case by the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department, the Rolla Police Department, the Postal Inspection Service; and Assistant United States Attorney Tracy Berry, who handled the case for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
