According to the press release:
MINEOLA, NY – Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said that three United States Postal employees from the Locust Valley Post Office have been arrested and charged with stealing money while on the job.
John D. Klick, 52, of Greenvale; Roberto Bardales, 35, of Whitestone; and Warren Wojciechowski, 56, of Glen Cove, were arrested on January 20 and charged with one count each of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree and Petit Larceny. All three defendants face up to four years in prison. Klick is due back in court on March 2 and Bardales and Wojciechowski are due back on March 3.
The arrests were made with the assistance of the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General.
Rice said that the defendants stole money by ringing up customer purchase amounts that were less than the actual purchase price, also called “short-ringing.” The defendants sometimes made no entry at all for a purchase and pocketed the cash.
Klick is alleged to have taken $166.80; Bardales is alleged to have taken $456.74 and Wojciechowski is alleged to have taken a total of $818.06 in cash.
Deputy Chief William Wallace of the Government & Consumer Frauds Bureau is prosecuting the cases for the DA’s Office. John D. Klick is represented by Robert Schalk, Esq.; Roberto Bardales by Danielle Papa; and Warren Wojciechowski by Paul Berko, Esq
Got a new Class action Complaint, Reckless disregard Claim1) When the Agency refused to properly train their medical unit and management personnel regarding their obligations under the Rehabilitation Act; as instructed to do so in EEOC Appeal No. 0720080044, (See, Grayson v. USPS, dated 1/6/2009), and Claim 2) By mandating that certain employee’s submit to “Forensic Psychiatric Evaluations” (before allowing these employee’s to return to work). Complainant’s contentions are that these Forensic Psychiatric Evaluations are not shown to be job-related and consistent with the business necessity of the Agency, thus such evaluations are improper. Complainant submits this complaint as a “Class Action Complaint”, which is ongoing. I am looking for other employees who had to have a “Forensic Psychiatric Evaluations” If any postal employee would like to be included into this class action complaint, please contact me at via e-mail ; foochiememo@aol.com

They will plea bargain to resign & sign away there retirement … If every
window clerk got arrested for doing something illegal there would be
a massive amount of openings… Just wonder what the pct of window
clerks put $20 or $50 in there pocket on a tuesday & replace it before
being counted….
Shame on them, Forrest Gump was right, “stupid is as stupid does”. These guys were making $50,000 a year and they traded it for less than one weeks pay. They must be related to people on Wall St.
