An eastern Iowa postal employee is charged with stealing from people on her route.”Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers fromthe swift completion of their appointed rounds.” That familiar motto holds true for most people who deliver the mail. But authorities say a Bettendorf letter carrier stole some credit and debit cards she was supposed to deliver. 41-year-old Arnell Wagner of LeClaire faces federal charges. Court records say she admitted to postal investigators in an interview last month that, beginning in the summer of 1999, she removed roughly a dozen bank cards from envelopes she was supposed to deliver. Wagner allegedly used the cards to make ATM withdrawals or purchase food, gasoline and other items.
