 Anyone
in the Moyie Springs area who suspects they
might be missing mail from rural mail boxes
recently are being asked to call both the
Boundary County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Postal
inspectors after a 42 year old Sandpoint woman
confessed to robbing mail from the Moyie Bridge
to Troy, Montana.
Both agencies are building cases against Jamey
D. Wallace, who is free on $25,000 bond after
being charged with both grand theft and petit
theft.
The case against Wallace broke after the Bonners
Ferry Police Department was notified of a
suspicious $5,000 check that had been allegedly
altered and cashed at Mountain West Bank in
Bonners Ferry January 6 in a transaction
captured on video.
Right after cashing the check, the woman walked
across the street to Larson's where she
allegedly lifted nearly $250 in merchandise,
again caught on camera.
At 5:01 p.m. Monday, January 13, an alert
employee at Larson's saw the same woman enter
the store and called police, who responded at
once and took Wallace into custody.
Faced with the evidence against her, she
confessed not only to allegedly stealing and
forging the theft and shoplifting, but to having
taken checks, packages and Netflix movies from
mailboxes stretching from Moyie Springs to Troy
on Friday, January 3.
U.S. Postal Service investigators are trying to
identify everyone who is missing mail in that
area, and ask that anyone whom they have not
contacted who is missing mail call
1-877-876-2455. The Boundary County Sheriff's
Office is also building their case against her,
and ask that they also be called at (208)
267-3151, extension 0.
If mail was stolen in Montana, call the Lincoln
County Sheriff's Office, Libby, at (406)
293-4112. |
