A 77-year-old Kansas mail carrier accused of embezzling mail says she didn’t steal it. She just didn’t deliver it.

Federal prosecutors filed a criminal information Wednesday against Dixie Bontrager of Holton, charging her with one count of embezzling first-class mail periodicals, parcels and bulk mail entrusted to her. Bontrager told The Associated Press she intends to plead guilty.

Bontrager says she had been a mail carrier for 30 years until she was dismissed in 2010. Her 115-mile route included Holton and Circleville in northeast Kansas.

She tells The AP that she never gave any thought that it was stealing mail because she never opened anything.

The woman says lot of it was just junk mail like advertising flyers or undeliverable mail. She says some of it dated to 2003.
