ST. LOUIS – A man who pleaded guilty earlier this year to stealing mail in Chesterfield was sentenced Thursday to 19 months in federal prison.
Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri said Christopher Ali Pate, 32, pleaded guilty in March to one count of mail theft. A co-defendant, Eryk Campbell, 28, pleaded guilty to the same charge in February.
Both men admitted to stealing from multiple mailboxes in Chesterfield on Aug. 28, 2023. Pate and Campbell then drove to a gas station in St. Louis, where a police vehicle also entered the parking lot of the gas station.
The vehicle refused to stop for police and the pair tossed the stolen mail out of the car.
Campbell was previously sentenced to six months in federal prison and 16 months of supervised release.
