A former U.S. Postal Service supervisor in Missouri has been charged with stealing nearly 100 checks from the mail, further eroding public trust in an institution long plagued by inefficiency and corruption.
Federal authorities revealed the shocking allegations in a Dec. 26 news release.
Benita D. Randle, 42, has been charged with stealing nearly 100 checks from the mail while employed at a St. Louis processing and distribution center.
According to a Dec. 26 release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, Randle was indicted earlier this month and pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Prosecutors allege that on October 31, 2023, Randle, then a postal supervisor, stole approximately 90 checks entrusted to the Postal Service for delivery.
While the exact value and nature of the stolen checks remain unclear, the case underscores the growing mistrust in an agency plagued by inefficiency and systemic issues.
