TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A woman who ran a Kansas town's post office was sentenced to probation for stealing gift cards from the mail.

Stacy Vasko was sentenced Tuesday to three years of probation for a misdemeanor count of obstructing mail. She was also ordered to pay $200 in restitution.

Vasko intially was charged last summer with two counts of mail theft by a postal employee.

She was living in Salina and was the only employee in the Brookville post office when the thefts occurred. She was caught after a postal investigator determined Vasko had used a gift card taken from a birthday card that went through the Brookville office.
