Muskegon Postal Worker Sentenced to Prison for Mail Theft, Taking Veteran’s Prescription Drugs
Samantha Gentz, a postal worker in Muskegon, has been sentenced to two months in prison and 18 months probation for stealing a military veteran's prescription drugs and other packages along her route.
WZZM-13 reports that the victim, veteran Laurel Hill, spoke in federal court Wednesday before Goetz was sentenced.
Hill said,
“You had the audacity to do this to a veteran with a disability. That shows exactly what kind of person you are Samantha Rose Gentz. You don't deserve a slap on the wrist. You don't deserve just probation."
The Navy vet was taking the medicine to cope with her service related disability, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
She says while off her meds, she experienced hallucinations and suicidal thoughts.
In April, Gentz plead guilty to a federal charge of unlawfully opening mail.
