ST. LOUIS - A federal grand jury indicted 40-year-old Sherri Welch on two counts of theft or receipt of stolen mail this week. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, with the help of the Hazelwood Police Department, arrested Welch on Thursday.
According to the indictment, on or about Dec. 28, 2020, Welch stole a package addressed to another person in the 11000 block of Craig Manor Drive in St. Louis, MO. Also on Dec. 28, 2020, Welch stole a package addressed to another person in the 6800 block of Teson Road in Hazelwood, MO.
For each count, Welch faces a maximum punishment of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
