Woman to change plea in postal theft case

CEDAR RAPIDS — Court records say a northern Iowa woman accused of misappropriating money from the U.S. Postal Service intends to plead guilty.

DeAnn Lewman has filed notice of her intention. A hearing on the change is scheduled for Sept. 1 in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids.

In May Lewman pleaded not guilty to two counts of misappropriation of postal funds and 42 counts of false entries while working as postmaster in Nora Springs.
