6/10/2010

A Fremont man who allegedly stole a big, blue U.S. mailbox was charged Wednesday with theft of U.S. mail.

Jason L. Weiler, 22, was named in a bill of information filed in U.S. District Court in Toledo. He faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Secor said Mr. Weiler stole more than mail: He “took the whole box” from a Fremont location Jan. 3. Mr. Secor said mail inside the box was recovered.
