(KNZA )-- The former postmaster of the Whiting post office is serving two years of probation for embezzling public funds.
Fifty-year-old Terri Morris of Holton also was ordered last week to pay $5,338 in restitution for embezzling from the post office in Whiting.
A jury found Morris guilty in May on two counts of making a false writing and one count of embezzling funds.
U.S. Postal Service investigators found more than $7,000 missing during a surprise audit at the post office in 2010.
Prosecutors say Morris took the money and filed fraudulent statements to the postal service to cover the thefts.
