United States of America v. Ashley Straub
Date: 02-17-2026
Case Number: 25-mj-00092
Judge: Anita M. Boor
Court: United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (Dane County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: United States District Attorney’s Office in Madison
Defendant's Attorney: Mark Maciolek
Ashley Straub, 25, Onalaska, Wisconsin, worked as a mail carrier at the La Crosse Post Office. In February 2025, Straub opened numerous items of mail and stole $350 in cash and several gift cards.
At the sentencing, Judge Boor noted that theft by mail carriers erodes trust in the United States Postal Service. In selecting an appropriate sentence, Judge Boor balanced Straub’s harm to the community with her lack of criminal history.
The charge against Straub was the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General and the La Crosse Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alex Samuel and Megan Stelljes prosecuted this case.
