A New Orleans man, Darryl Alexander, aged 22, has entered a guilty plea for conspiring to steal U.S. mail and possessing stolen mail, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson. Alexander will be sentenced on June 26, 2025, by United States District Judge Eldon E. Fallon.
Alexander's charges stem from an incident on June 23, 2022, in Kenner, Louisiana. He allegedly collaborated with another individual to steal mail using a United States Postal Service (USPS) "arrow key." They successfully stole mail from one location but were thwarted at a second site. Subsequently, law enforcement recovered 36 stolen checks, a forged counterfeit check, six opened pieces of mail, and the USPS arrow key after a police chase.
For each of the charges against him, Alexander could face a maximum of five years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of up to $250,000, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.
The investigation involved cooperation between the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the Kenner Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jon Maestri is leading the prosecution.
