Postal carrier indicted on mail theft charge

Posted

U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handberg has announced the return of an indictment charging Kori Ann Moreno, 26, of Ponte Vedra Beach with theft of mail over an eight-month period. If convicted, Moreno faces up to five years in federal prison and payment of restitution to the victims in the case. She was arrested on Nov. 29 by agents from the U.S. Postal Service – Office of Inspector General and subsequently released on a bond.

An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.

This case was investigated by U.S. Postal Service – Office of Inspector General and will be prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin C. Frein.
