Ex empleados postales de FedEx acusados de robar paquetes
Former FedEx, Postal Employees Accused of Stealing From Packages
MEMPHIS, TN (LPL/WREG) — Once ex empleados de FedEx Express y dos ex contratistas del Servicio Postal de EE. UU. Fueron acusados formalmente de cargos federales luego de que los fiscales indicaron que revisaron correo y robaron el contenido.
De acuerdo con las acusaciones, se enviarán como obsequios y tarjetas de felicitación que podrían contener dinero, y luego contrabandearán los contenidos fuera del sitio. Los acusados enfrentan hasta cinco años de prisión y una multa de $250.000.
“Estos no son pequeños robos”, dijo el abogado Michael Dunavant. “Estas son interrupciones en el Servicio Postal de los Estados Unidos”.
Las acusaciones para las siguientes personas se dictaron el 11 de septiembre:
Braylon DeShaun Butler, 25; Posely Renard Jones, 25; Florence Lucinda Guy, 23; Shamika Shunta Coleman, 39; Jamal LaDarius Johnson, 39; Ronald Bernard Carter Jr., 32; Katrina Lasha Dunlap, 27; Yukelia Denise Brown, 31; Tekesha Brushay Henderson, 26; Craig Darnell Johnson, 26; Yolanda Matrice Barbee, 22; Jerome Timothy Pope, 26; Cortez B. Spencer, 28
Todos fueron acusados luego de una investigación de tres años. No parecía que estuvieran trabajando juntos, sino que se enfocaban en los paquetes y correos que tenían dinero o regalos adentro.
Dwight Jones con USPS dice que depende del remitente recoger su paquete.
“Cualquier cosa con un empaque brillante a veces puede atraer el ojo de una persona deshonesta”, dijo Jones.

MEMPHIS, TN (WREG)— Eleven former FedEx Express employees and two former contractors for the U.S. Postal Service were indicted on federal charges after prosecutors say they searched through mail and stole contents.
According to their indictments, they targeted mail like gifts and greeting cards that might contain money, then smuggled the contents off site. The defendants each face up to five years of prison and a $250,000 fine.
“These are not petty thefts,” U.S. Attorney Michael Dunavant said. “These are interruptions of the United States Postal Service.”
The indictments for the following people were handed down Sept. 11:
Braylon DeShaun Butler, 25; Posely Renard Jones, 25; Florence Lucinda Guy, 23; Shamika Shunta Coleman, 39; Jamal LaDarius Johnson, 39; Ronald Bernard Carter Jr., 32; Katrina Lasha Dunlap, 27; Yukelia Denise Brown, 31; Tekesha Brushay Henderson, 26; Craig Darnell Johnson, 26; Yolanda Matrice Barbee, 22; Jerome Timothy Pope, 26; Cortez B. Spencer, 28.
They were all indicted after a three-year investigation. It doesn’t appear they were working together, but rather individually targeting packages and mail they thought had money or gift cards inside.
Dwight Jones with USPS says it’s up to the sender to pick their packaging.
“Anything with bright packaging can sometimes catch a dishonest person’s eye,” Jones said.
