INDIANAPOLIS — Barry Gallon, a 54-year-old resident of McCordsville, has been sentenced to one year of probation after admitting to stealing cash from mail while employed at the Indianapolis Processing and Distribution Center. Gallon pleaded guilty to theft of mail matter by an officer or employee, a felony offense.
Court documents state that Gallon, who served as a Maintenance Manager at the facility for seven years, engaged in theft between August 31, 2023, and September 20, 2023. During this period, he extracted cash from various letters, packages, and bags within the mainstream of the distribution center, totaling no more than $6,500.
U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Myers emphasized the importance of integrity within the U.S. Postal Service, noting that the service is a crucial resource that depends on the trust of the American public. Myers stated that criminal actions by public servants, especially those exploiting their positions, necessitate strict accountability. The felony conviction ensures that Gallon will not return to a position of trust.
