CINCINNATI – The largest known theft of checks from the mail in Cincinnati has led to a 72-month prison sentence for Treyvon Alexander, 21, of Georgetown, Kentucky.
Alexander was sentenced today by U.S. District Court Judge Douglas R. Cole for orchestrating the scheme that netted him over $7 million.
The defendant, along with an accomplice and a postal employee, conspired to steal checks from mail processing facilities. Alexander processed these stolen funds, converting them into cash. He was ordered to pay more than half a million dollars in restitution.
Former postal employee Destiny Neblett, 23, confessed to stealing the checks during her work hours at a mail processing facility. She then passed them on to her boyfriend, Lonnel Lucas, 23, who sold them to Alexander. The stolen checks were delivered by the United States Postal Service to their intended recipients without any actual loss.
Alexander pleaded guilty in February 2025 to conspiring to commit bank fraud, while Neblett pleaded guilty in August. Lucas is scheduled for a plea hearing on September 30th. Assistant United States Attorney Timothy S. Mangan represented the United States in this case.
United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, Dominick S. Gerace, and Inspector in Charge Lesley Allison of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) announced the sentence.
