Former Montgomery mail carrier convicted of mail theft and fraud

Federal prosecutors say a former mail carrier from Montgomery has been convicted of mail theft and mail fraud.

U.S. Attorney Jonathan Ross has announced that a federal jury convicted 44-year-old James Glover on one count of postal theft by an employee and three counts of mail fraud.

According to court records and evidence presented during trial, Glover was involved in a fraudulent mail theft and bank fraud scheme involving multiple individuals. The jury heard testimony that, in September and October of 2022, while Glover worked as a mail carrier, he stole checks and documents containing financial information from the mail.

The U.S. Attorney says the stolen checks were altered or used to create fraudulent checks and then deposited into bank accounts by Glover and others.

Previously, 24-year-old Keldric Ortez Jones, also from Montgomery,  was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud for his role in the scheme. Jones received a 46-month sentence on March 11. There is no parole in the federal system.

Following his conviction, Glover faces a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison. A sentencing hearing for Glover is scheduled for September 30.
