    EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — Two women were sentenced to years in federal
    prison after admitting to being involved in a mail-theft scheme that
    included more than $100,000 in bank fraud.

    According to a press release from U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft's
    office, 30-year-old Tylann Starks of Swansea was sentenced to four years
    in prison and 33-year-old Tiara Johnson of Pontoon Beach was sentenced
    to 27 months in prison after they both pleaded guilty to their
    involvement with the scheme that ran from 2020 to 2023.

    According to charging documents, Starks bought an arrow key from a
    former postal employee for $1,000. Starks and Johnson then used the key
    to search collection boxes for checks, and used the personal information
    to cash the checks or generate fraudulent checks.

    Starks and Johnson cashed, deposited or used the stolen and counterfeit
    checks at area businesses, banks and ATMs in Belleville, East St. Louis
    and O’Fallon.

    The press release said there were at least 100 victims affected by the
    scheme with an estimated loss of more than $100,000.

    Starks pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud,
    three counts of bank fraud, two counts of aggravated identity theft and
    one count of conspiracy to steal U.S. mail. Johnson pleaded guilty to
    one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, one count of bank fraud
    and one count of conspiracy to steal U.S. mail.

    The former postal employee who allegedly sold them the arrow key,
    52-year-old Jamil Jackson, is also facing charges. He is facing one
    count of conspiracy to steal U.S. mail, one count of theft of a
    specialized key to access US Postal receptacles and one count of making
    false statements to a federal law enforcement officer. He is set to
    appear in court on May 13.
