Travis, who worked for the United States Postal Service (USPS), was accused of swiping phones that had been sent through the mail. The crime occurred while Travis was working as a mail handler, and she now faces serious consequences for her actions.
According to the indictment, Travis was charged with two counts of mail theft.
