After stealing mail from blue U.S. Postal Service collection
boxes — then throwing some of that mail from a stolen Jeep
during a police chase — a 23-year-old Texas man is prison bound,
according to federal authorities. Dontae Dewey McGee, of
Houston, was sentenced Jan. 11 to 37 months in prison and
ordered to pay $55,372 in restitution after pleading guilty to
mail theft in June 2022, according to a news release from the
U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas. His
defense attorney did not immediately respond to a request for
comment from McClatchy News on Jan. 12. Authorities said the
Postal Service began receiving mail theft complaints regarding
various collection boxes in Beaumont during January 2022.
Responding to the complaints, on Feb. 10, the U.S. Postal
Inspection Service (USPIS) installed security cameras so that
some of the blue deposit boxes were monitored at all times,
according to court records.

The cameras recorded mail thefts on nine days throughout
February, officials said. “The surveillance footage indicated
that the thefts were being conducted by at least two
individuals, working as a team to steal mail and mail matter
from these USPS blue deposit boxes,” according to court records.
“The perpetrators appeared to be utilizing a key to access the
contents of the boxes, allowing for quick removal of the
contents of each blue deposit box.” The men were in a dark,
newer model Jeep Cherokee, officials said.

After discovering a pattern, USPIS coordinated live surveillance
on USPS boxes with the Beaumont Police Department on Feb. 28.
And at about 1:45 a.m. that morning, police spotted the Jeep
near a post office facility. The Jeep sped away when officers
tried to pull it over, according to court records. Less than an
hour later, officers spotted the Jeep at a McDonald’s restaurant
in Beaumont, authorities said. Officers entered the parking lot,
leading McGee to again speed away. Officers chased the Jeep,
continuing onto parts of Interstate 10 at over 130 mph,
according to court records. The men inside the Jeep were seen
throwing mail and a gun from the vehicle. “Spike strips were
deployed and proved to be successful in damaging the fleeing
vehicle’s wheels, but the vehicle continued to travel for some
time without tires,” officials said, though the Jeep was
eventually stopped. McGee was driving the Jeep and had one male
passenger, officials said. He admitted to buying a key from
someone to unlock the blue mailboxes and to stealing mail,
according to court records. He also admitted to throwing stolen
mail from the stolen Jeep. The passenger also admitted to
stealing mail — and also said he was the one who threw the gun
and mail from the Jeep, officials said. He pleaded guilty on
Sept. 7 and is awaiting sentencing.
