SACRAMENTO – Two Stockton residents, investigated as co-conspirators in an identity-theft scheme, pleaded guilty Friday to a number of charges in federal court.
Frank Antwoine Johnson, 33, and Courtney L. Williams, 24, face up to 30 years in prison and a $750,000 fine for possession of stolen mail.
On June 8, Johnson and Williams were seen pulling over their van alongside mailboxes and stealing mail.
Patrol officers stopped the van and found hundreds of pieces of stolen mail and evidence that the pair were profiling people for identity theft.
Johnson pleaded guilty to possession of stolen U.S. mail, credit card fraud and unauthorized possession of identification documents. He admitted to possessing at least five identifications that didn’t belong to him, and at least 15 devices to access account and credit card information.
Williams pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, failure to appear and possession of stolen U.S. mail.

She used a false identification when she was arrested and during the federal court proceedings.
Alisha Grim, 40, a third co-conspirator also from Stockton, is charged with mail theft, possession and identity theft offenses.
Grim is expected in court Monday in Sacramento.
