Stolen Mail Scheme Unraveled in Texas
SHERMAN, Texas – In a shocking turn of events, two Katy, Texas residents have been charged with federal violations related to a mail theft scheme in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Damien M. Diggs.
Brevin Lee Pogue, 26, and Dayana Amador-Enamorado, 24, were named in the two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Texas on October 9, 2024. They were charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to steal U.S. mail and to possess stolen U.S. mail.
According to information presented in court, an investigation into mail stolen in the Eastern District of Texas revealed an elaborate scheme to sell, ship, and alter stolen checks and other financial instruments across the country. The investigation led to the arrest by the Parker Police Department of Pogue and Amador in August 2024 at an Airbnb in Colorado.
If convicted, Pogue and Amador face up to 30 years in federal prison.
This case is being investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Fort Worth Division, Denver Division, and Houston Division; the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office in Colorado; and the Parker Police Department in Colorado.
A federal indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The investigation into the mail theft scheme has shed light on the serious consequences of such crimes, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and cooperation among law enforcement agencies.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our nation’s mail system, which plays a critical role in the daily lives of citizens.
