Stolen Mail Discovered in Vehicle in August Homer Traffic Stop

trooper road accidentAnchor Point-based Alaska State Troopers fell upon a mail theft case during the early morning hours of August 10th after performing a traffic stop on a 1994 Plymouth that pulled into the wrong entrance of the Homer Middle School on the Sterling Highway in Homer, the trooper dispatch reported.

A trooper on patrol at 1:22 am on the tenth of August pulled over the vehicle and identified the two occupants of the vehicle as 39-year-old Pamela Larson and 46-year-old Kimberly Scheaffer, both of Kenai. During the stop, the trooper observed mail belonging to multiple persons in the Homer area. When asked, the occupants were unable to tell the officer who the people were that the mail belonged to.

According to the report, the Plymouth was seized in anticipation of a search warrant. When the search warrant was granted, investigators would find “over 100 checks, multiple debit cards, personal documents and consumable goods that were all stolen,” the trooper dispatch revealed.

Troopers also stated that a small amount of methamphetamine was recovered from the vehicle.

After contacting multiple victims in the case, warrants requested arrest warrants for Sheaffer and Larson on charges of Theft II, five counts each, and one count each of Theft IV.

After warrants were granted, Anchorage police picked up Larson and held her on $5,000 bail and a court-approved third party. 

Scheaffer has not yet been located and her whereabouts are unknown.[xyz-ihs snippet=”Adsense-responsive”]
