A Baton Rouge man was arrested Friday afternoon for being in possession of numerous stolen checks (taken from a U.S. Postal Service mailbox), a stolen vehicle, and numerous narcotics and weapons charges.
This past Friday, Slidell Police Detective Ben Williams was on pro-active patrol and observed 21 YO, Rashawn Robinson-Mills of Baton Rouge pulling a pistol from his waistband while leaving a gas station.
Robinson-Mills got into a 2016 Dodge Challenger, which was stolen and had a switched license plate.
During a traffic stop, Robinson-Mills was found to be in possession of 50+ stolen checks, which were taken from a U.S. Postal Service mailbox in the Baton Rouge area. In addition, Robinson-Mills had an outstanding warrant from Pascagoula for Fraud related charges.
Robinson-Mills was arrested and faces multiple charges.
Due to several mail thefts recently from U.S. Postal service mailboxes, federal authorities were contacted and are expected to file additional charges against Robinson-Mills.
