Two Jennings County residents were arrested in Jackson County after allegedly stealing people’s mail.

A spokesperson with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department says that, on Wednesday, they received reports of a car, with a homemade “FedEx” sign attached to a door, stopping at people’s mailboxes between Seymour and Dudleytown. The caller told authorities that someone inside the car was taking items from the mailboxes.

The spokesperson says that Deputies Rob Henley, Adam Nicholson, Bob Lucas and Ben Rudolph searched the area, with Henley locating the vehicle near the intersection of County Roads 100 South and 600 East near Dudleytown. The deputy says that he witnessed the pair place a flyer into a mailbox, then pull away. When deputies ran a check of the car’s license plate, it came up as stolen from Johnson County.

The vehicle was stopped and deputies arrested the occupants, 34-year-old Billy Joe Ellis and 30-year-old Stacy Ann Lucas. After receiving a search warrant, the deputies searched the car, where they reported finding several pieces of mail belonging to residents of Seymour, Columbus and Jennings County.
