Description: Syracuse, NY: Criminal defense lawyer represented defendant charged with three felony counts of stealing gift cards from the mail while employed as a carrier with the United States Postal Service.
Thomas J. Joslin, age 58, of North Syracuse, New York, was charged with three felony counts of stealing gift cards from the mail while employed as a carrier with the United States Postal Service.
Joslin admitted that he stole multiple gift cards from mail entrusted to him in Onondaga County between March 2019 and June 2019, including a $160 prepaid Mastercard rebate card; a $300 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card; and a $40 prepaid Visa card. The defendant admitted that he targeted pieces of mail he believed contained gift cards, and that he used the stolen gift cards to buy different gift cards in an attempt to distance himself from the thefts. Joslin is no longer employed by the U.S. Postal Service.
As part of his sentence, Joslin must pay a $2,000 fine; make restitution payments $500 to the known victims of his offenses; and perform 50 hours of community service.
