Two U.S. Postal Service employees in Macon were arrested this week on felony charges tied to an active mail-theft investigation, turning a quiet postal route into the focus of a criminal probe. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office identified the workers as 26-year-old Anthony Tyler Thomas and 28-year-old Toni Jones-Coleman. Investigators say Thomas was taken into custody March 30 while on shift, and Jones-Coleman turned herself in the following day. Both are facing felony counts and have since posted bond.
According to the sheriff’s office, the arrests followed a joint investigation with the U.S. Postal Service and the Office of Inspector General. Deputies detained Thomas at a Zebulon Road postal facility during his shift, then transported him to the Criminal Investigation Division before he was booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center. Authorities say the investigation is still underway, a detail echoed by Macon Regional Crime Stoppers.
The criminal charges were outlined by The Georgia Sun, which reports that Thomas is charged with felony theft by possession of stolen property, while Jones-Coleman faces a felony theft-by-taking charge. The outlet notes that both have posted bond and been released.
Two Former Employees Still Wanted
The case does not end with the two arrests. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is also asking for help finding 46-year-old Summer Battle and 30-year-old Savon Lashaun Harris, both described as former Postal Service employees who are wanted on felony theft-by-possession charges. Macon Regional Crime Stoppers has shared the sheriff’s media release and is urging anyone with information to come forward.
Investigation And Next Steps
Investigators say more charges could be filed as they review evidence and complete interviews. So far, the sheriff’s office has not released details about any recovered mail or property. The Georgia Sun reports that the probe remains active.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Battle or Harris is asked to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME, according to local reports. Country Herald and other outlets list the sheriff’s contact details for tips.
