A startling discovery unfolded in Cobb County as police arrested a former postal worker, Ebony Williams, after stolen mail was found inside a stolen vehicle. The sequence of events began when officers spotted a stolen vehicle in a parking lot on Spring Road, eventually leading to the apprehension of Williams.
The vehicle in question turned out to be a rental car reported stolen by the rental company, as the renter had deliberately failed to return it. Upon closer inspection, officers uncovered a trove of letters scattered throughout the car, addressed to various individuals and businesses. While none bore Williams’ name, her connection to the letters soon became apparent.
Court records revealed that Williams confessed to her past role as a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. During her tenure, suspicions arose that she had unlawfully appropriated mail intended for delivery, including checks that she allegedly kept for personal gain. This revelation underscores the significant impact of her actions, with numerous individuals left without the checks rightfully owed to them.
Sgt. Eric Smith of the Cobb County Police emphasized the diligent efforts of his team in locating the stolen car and identifying Williams as the individual responsible. Moreover, their investigation unveiled her involvement in additional crimes, highlighting the far-reaching consequences of her actions.
Williams now faces charges of theft and forgery as she sits in the Cobb County Jail. Given the involvement of stolen mail, inspectors from the U.S. Postal Service have also become integral to the ongoing investigation, ensuring that justice is served and the victims receive proper restitution.
