Michael Sargent, 48, was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Robert Beistline.

Prosecutors say the 29-year postal employee did not charge customers for bulk-mail shipments such as business mailings and brochures and said he wanted to bankrupt the United States Postal Service.

Prosecutors said Sargent was angry with the Postal Service because of perceived injustices and a missed promotion.
