The U.S. Post Office at 8271 Camanche Parkway South in Wallace was burglarized by Thomas Patrick Day on July 2, 2020.

The U.S. Post Office at 8271 Camanche Parkway South in Wallace was burglarized by Thomas Patrick Day on July 2, 2020.

A Modesto man was sentenced on Tuesday to two years in federal prison for burglarizing a U.S. Post Office in Calaveras County, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California announced in a news release.

Thomas Patrick Day, 41, pleaded guilty in March to breaking into the U.S. Post Office at 8271 Camanche Parkway South in Wallace on the night of July 2, 2020, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert said in the release.

Day used a glass-breaker tool to shatter the glass to the post office’s lobby area before stealing packages and keys to P.O. boxes belonging to other people and businesses, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

The maximum penalty that Day faced was five years in federal prison and a $250,000, though a judge determined his actual sentence after considering any applicable statutory factors and federal sentencing guidelines that take a number of variables into account.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Barton prosecuted the case, which was a product of an investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
