U.S. District Court Judge James P. Jones sentenced Former Southwest Virginia Postmaster Cynthia K. Landore to serve a year and a day in prison for embezzling over 34-thousand dollars from the Hiltons post office. Because of her clean record she will serve less time than the suggested guidelines. The 56-year old Bristol Tennessee resident pleaded guilty to one count of misappropriation of postal funds and one count of theft of public property. Landore took money customers used to buy money orders and stamps then hid the crime by falsifying records and money orders. She could have gotten 10-years in prison on each charge. (bg)
