Washington Police announced that over 100 pieces of mail and stimulus cards were recovered from a vehicle that was parked in Olympic National Park Tuesday.
Residents are asked to regularly check on their mailboxes following the incident involving Michael Riley, 32, whose letter-packed car triggered Clallam County Sheriff’s Office deputies’ suspicions.
Riley was accused of stealing the mail of nearly 80 victims including 15 credit cards, three stimulus debit cards, and four government/state documents.
Frustrated people took to social media after news emerged that Riley was released following his arrest. They left angry comments on the sheriff’s office post.
“He’s already out, while they ‘Try’ to tie him to the evidence they found in his rig. Pfhht!” one said.
Police replied: “They did not arrest him. But they’re conducting an investigation, and they’re in communication with the prosecutors and going that route.”
