Law enforcement, who had a search warrant, raided Perrin’s apartment in October 2022 and found a postal service key, a United States Postal Service logo jacket, $6,000 in cash, more than 500 checks and approximately 15 debit or credit cards, according to court documents.

The checks had payable amounts ranging from approximately 50 cents to $282,000. The stolen mail also included sensitive forms and documents, such as a federal tax return, payment slips for medical and dental bills, and a loan-forgiveness application.

Perrin also possessed equipment and supplies for cloning debit and credit cards and altering stolen checks, records stated.

Perrin was charged federally in October 2022 and pleaded guilty in September 2023.
