A Walnut Creek woman was sentenced on Wednesday to more than two years in prison for breaking into mailboxes in a San Francisco apartment complex and stealing financial information from residents, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Jesslyn Felix, 35, was sentenced to 28 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Maxine Cesney. Her co-defendant, 35-year-old Tyler Goforth, received a 27-month sentence in August.
They were both indicted in federal court on Jan. 15 and pleaded guilty to the charges in May.
According to prosecutors, Felix and Goforth broke into the mailboxes at the Beacon condominium complex in South of Market more than a dozen times between August 2017 and February 2018.
They forced open the mailboxes and stole credit and debit cards, checks, gift cards, bank statements and photo identifications from more than 80 residents. They used the stolen goods to access the victims’ money, prosecutors said.
In addition to the prison sentence, Felix was sentenced to three years of probation following her release.

Thank you U.S. District Court Judge Maxine Mackler Cesney.
How much did they gross on these thefts. If they got into the thousands they didn’t get enough time.
FINALLY ! ! !
Without penalty for crime, it only increases in frequency.
Thank You Mr. Mayor for posting this !
OK just read what they stole. They got over $40,000. Sentenced to not nearly enough time. They stole from 600 residents in one building on multiple occasions.
Say what you will about the post office, but they take their mail frauds and crimes very seriously. They go after mail crimes very vigorously.
Absolutely.
Don’t mess with the Feds. Now if CA would be as tough on crime.
Well done!
No restitution? Weak sentencing.
If you google their names, there are some mug shots and a picture of them flashing some cash.
They should always never hold a position of trust. Hate this behavior. Good they are going to prison.
