ST. LOUIS – A former U.S. Postal Service supervisor appeared in court Thursday to answer an indictment accusing her of stealing checks from the mail.
Benita D. Randle, 42, was indicted December 11 in U.S. District Court in St. Louis on one count of theft of mail by a U.S. Postal Service employee. She pleaded not guilty Thursday.
The indictment says that on Oct. 31, 2023, Randle stole about 90 checks from mail that had been entrusted to the Postal Service for delivery. Randle was a supervisor at the St. Louis Processing and Distribution Center in St. Louis at the time, the indictment says.
Charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Clow is prosecuting the case.
