Ex-supervisor pleads guilty in House Post Office scandal
Dorothea Niki Risenhoover, 33, of Alexandria Virginia, admitted conspiring to cover up missing stamps and money from the stamp drawer and possessing cocaine around May 1990. Prosecutors said she agreed to shield Wendell Magruder from disclosure of her drug use in exchange for his silence about the embezzlement. Magruder faces charges of embezzlement and selling cocaine and marijuana to post office staff. Risenhoover left the job earlier this year.
