WINDOW ROCK — Carol Sekayumptewa, 41, of Kykotsmovi, and a former U.S. postmaster, was sentenced Jan. 28, by U.S. Magistrate Judge Michelle Hamilton-Burns to six months’ probation after pleading guilty to misappropriation of postal funds. She was also ordered to pay $1,000 restitution to the U.S. Postal Service.

On Feb. 11, 2008, Sekayumptewa issued a U.S. postal money order for her personal use without paying for it and never reported the money order as sold. Sekayumptewa had served as Kykotsmovi postmaster for three years and resigned her position July 2.
