A man has been sentenced in federal court for breaking into the tamuning post office and stealing mail. 

After nearly six hours of testimony and arguments, Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood sentenced 36-year-old Matthew John Briola Sablan to 18 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He’ll serve his time at a federal correctional institution in Oregon and received credit for almost six months already spent behind bars.

Sablan pleaded guilty in April, admitting he pried open the post office’s secured sorting area, making off with tubs of mail and packages. Surveillance footage showed him wearing pink shorts and a black hoodie, with a tattoo on his leg clearly visible. He was arrested the same day wearing the same clothing.

During sentencing, prosecutors argued Sablan’s crimes went beyond burglary—alleging he targeted mailboxes for personal information and even attempted to assume victims’ identities. But the defense pushed back, saying those claims went beyond the plea deal.

Sablan is also facing separate cases in superior court, but this federal sentence stems specifically from the post office burglary and mail theft.
