A Providence man has been sentenced for theft of U.S. mail, aggravated identity theft and fraud.
The Justice Department says Marquis McNair admitted to stealing both the ID's and mail of at least two people, and deposited fraudulent checks into his own bank account.
According to a statement from Assistant US Attorney Ronald Gendren, "According to charging documents and information presented to the court, in December 2017, an individual filed a complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service that a Change of Address form had been filed in that person’s name without their consent. Subsequently, the investigation determined that the complainant’s mail was being forwarded to McNair’s residence.
McNair was ordered to serve two years in prison and pay about 75-hundred dollars in restitution.
