Treyvon Alexander, a 21-year-old from Georgetown, Kentucky, has been sentenced to six years in prison for orchestrating what has been described as the largest mail check theft operation in Cincinnati’s history.
As reported by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, on September 12, Alexander faced federal court where he pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit bank fraud. He, along with accomplices—including a postal worker—successfully stole more than $7 million worth of checks from the mailstream.
Judge Douglas R. Cole handed out the six-year sentence and also ordered Alexander to make restitution of over $500,000.
Destiny Neblett, a 23-year-old former postal employee, played a crucial role in this scheme by pilfering mail at a Cincinnati processing facility. She provided the stolen checks to her boyfriend, Lonnel Lucas, also 23.
Lucas then sold these stolen checks to Alexander, who cashed them, much to the detriment of various local businesses that were listed on the checks.
According to an article from The Enquirer, Alexander admitted guilt to these charges back in February.
Authorities managed to recover a staggering 1,480 stolen checks valued at approximately $7.4 million. Luckily, many of these checks were returned to their rightful owners without causing real financial losses, as law enforcement acted promptly during their investigation.
On a related note, Neblett pleaded guilty in August 2025, while Lucas is expected in court on September 30 for his plea hearing. Earlier this year, another postal worker, Nakedra Shannon, was sentenced for her role in a similar operation involving millions of dollars worth of stolen checks in Charlotte.
