KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former employee of a North Kansas City post office has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $5,000 from his employer.

Jacob Crisp, formerly of Kansas City, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to misappropriating federal postal funds.

Prosecutors say Crisp embezzled money by not properly recording stamp sales and other activities.

Officials believe this allowed him to reduce the amount of cash he remitted in his daily deposits. He also took money from the cash drawer and put it in his pocket.

Investigators estimated he stole about $200 per week, taking a total of $5,040 worth of retail transactions.

Crisp faces up to 10 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000 and an order of restitution.
