A Slidell man pleads guilty this week after admitting to stealing mail from USPS blue mailboxes according to the Department of Justice.
According to court records 26-year-old Ronald Riley admitted to using banking information taken from the stolen mail to create fraudulent checks.
These fake checks were then used to defraud a number of federally insured banks. Riley also stole and used the identity of other people to execute the scheme according to the DOJ.
Riley faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison for the conspiracy charge and a mandatory two-year prison sentence for the identity theft. Riley is scheduled to be sentenced by a federal judge on June 28.
