CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Kent man prosecutors described as a “kingpin” of a crew mail-theft and check-fraud ring was sentenced on Friday to just shy of three years in prison.
Nathaniel Sturdivant, 24, led a group of six other people who stole $265,000 worth of checks from the U.S. Postal Service’s blue mailboxes, forged new checks and cashed them at Cleveland-area banks.
