According to court records, from October 2013 through July 2014, the three men stole mail from mailboxes to obtain private banking information and also stole wallets to obtain drivers’ licenses and social security cards. Lindsey, Vick, and Alsept then used the stolen information to manufacture counterfeit checks, with which they purchased merchandise and gift cards at retail stores throughout the Oklahoma City area. They later returned some of the purchased merchandise for a cash refund.

On October 22, 2014, the three men were indicted. On January 7, 2014, all three pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit access device fraud; Lindsey and Vick also pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft.

On May 13, 2015, Alsept was sentenced to serve 30 months in prison. On June 25, 2015, Lindsey was sentenced to serve 75 months in prison. On July 14, 2015, Vick was ordered to serve 64 months in prison. All three men were ordered to serve three years of supervised release following their release from prison and pay $221,203.07 in restitution to victims.

This sentence is the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
