William J. Paige, a former postal worker from Worcester, has been sentenced to two years' probation for stealing mail. Between January and February 2022, he took valuable items, including collector's coins, from his Whitinsville delivery route, totaling over $5,000. This led to his federal court appearance, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman sentenced Paige and ordered him to pay $5,119 in restitution to the victims. Paige had admitted to stealing mail while working for the Postal Service in September 2024, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Paige’s conviction, along with her sentence and restitution, was announced by U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy and USPS Inspector General Matthew Modafferi. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen M. Noto led the prosecution, as stated by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
