The Onalaska woman accused of stealing a substantial amount of mail in Lewis County has pleaded not guilty to 30 separate felony charges in Lewis County Superior Court.
The defendant, Amber K. Ingram, 40, entered her pleas during an arraignment hearing on Thursday, Jan. 19. She is currently out of custody after posting $10,000 bail earlier this month.
Trial is currently scheduled to begin April 10, 2023.
The charges stem from the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office’s search of Ingram’s car on Jan. 7 and its search of Ingram’s Onalaska residence on Jan. 11 that yielded a significant amount of stolen mail.
Sheriff’s office personnel found over 315 pieces of stolen mail in Ingram’s car and 17 to 19 garbage bags full of stolen mail in Ingram’s house, as well as a box of stolen license plates with attached registration.
Over 100 checks and approximately 60 credit cards were recovered from the mail found in Ingram’s vehicle, according to court documents.
Lewis County residents who have recently had mail stolen are encouraged to contact the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office at 360-748-9286 to be added to the victim’s list and help expedite the process of returning the stolen mail.
