A federal grand jury in Wichita has indicted a United States Postal Service employee on charges of embezzlement. According to court documents, Dalton R. Garcia, 33, of Brewster, Kansas, faces one count of misappropriation of postal funds.

Garcia is accused of using his position at the U.S. Postal Service to take money and property valued at more than $1,000 between August 2025 and September 2025.

In separate indictments, Michael J. Madden, 41, of Wichita was charged with two counts related to being a felon in possession of ammunition. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is conducting the investigation.

Damion Guy, 40, was indicted on one count involving the distribution of child pornography. The Wichita Police Department and the Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force are handling this case as part of Project Safe Childhood. This nationwide initiative by the Department of Justice was launched in May 2006 to address child sexual exploitation and abuse by coordinating federal, state, and local efforts to prosecute offenders and assist victims. More information about Project Safe Childhood can be found at https://www.justice.gov/psc.

Authorities emphasize that an indictment is only an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
