Former post office supervisor breaks into tears as he is sentenced to prison for stealing checks

James Lancaster, the former manager of customer service at Indianapolis' New Augusta Post Office, stole more than 270 pieces of mail. James Lancaster, 42, and his attorney asked a federal judge for mercy Wednesday morning when Lancaster appeared in U.S. Federal Court for his sentencing hearing. But Judge Tanya Walton Pratt told the defendant his actions warranted a significant sentence, including time behind bars.
