Mail Thief Sentenced to 6 Years in Prison
A Slidell, Louisiana man has been sentenced to 72 months in prison for theft of mail, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Rashawn Anthony Robinson-Mills, 25, admitted to breaking into multiple blue U.S. Postal Service letter boxes along the Gulf Coast and stealing mail between August 2023 and January 2024.
The defendant targeted mailboxes in Alabama and Mississippi, fraudulently altering and depositing checks and money orders belonging to victims, including a church in Mobile, Alabama. In conducting these fraudulent transactions, Robinson-Mills used victims’ identifiers without authorization.
On January 12, 2024, surveillance cameras at the Walmart on U.S. Highway 98 in Daphne, Alabama captured Robinson-Mills using a crowbar to pry open a letter box in front of the store. Later that day, sheriff’s deputies in Harrison County, Mississippi stopped Robinson-Mills on Interstate 10 eastbound and found the crowbar he used to steal mail in the trunk of his vehicle.
Agents searched Robinson-Mills’s cell phone, which contained dozens of photos depicting checks and money orders that he had stolen from the mail and fraudulently altered to be made payable to him. In October 2025, after Robinson-Mills had pleaded guilty in federal court and was awaiting sentencing, police in Pell City, Alabama arrested Robinson-Mills for breaking into multiple vehicles and stealing credit cards while working as an Amazon delivery driver.
Roadside arrest photos from Pell City police show Robinson-Mills after being stopped for breaking into the vehicles. In this case, Robinson-Mills admitted to committing the thefts, which resulted in revocation of his release conditions. At sentencing, the court reviewed evidence that Robinson-Mills used the stolen credit cards to try to purchase a penile girth enhancement at Alabama Men’s Clinic.
Rashawn Anthony Robinson-Mills was sentenced to 72 months in prison, followed by a five-year term of supervised release. The court did not impose a fine, but ordered Robinson-Mills to pay $200 in special assessments and $64,434.18 in victim restitution.
