An 18-year-old Noorvik man has been charged after allegedly breaking into a post office, authorities say.
A grand jury returned a one-count indictment of burglary of a U.S. post office against Theodore Westlake, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Alaska.
Westlake is accused of forcibly entering the Noorvik post office on June 29 with the intention of stealing money, the release says.
Westlake could face a maximum of five years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
The United States Postal Inspection Service and Alaska State Troopers conducted the investigation.
