Bakersfield Man Pleads Guilty To Possession Of Stolen U.S. Mail and Possession of 15 or More Credit Cards

FRESNO, Calif. —Jason Leroy Geiser, 37, of Bakersfield, pleaded guilty today to conspiring to possess stolen U.S. mail and to unlawfully possessing 15 or more unauthorized access devices (credit or debit cards), United States Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced. 

According to court documents, from on or about October 1, 2016, and continuing to March 2, 2017, Geiser conspired with others to fraudulently and unjustly enrich himself from the unauthorized use of, and trafficking in, access devices stolen from the U.S. Mail.

This case was the product of an investigation by the United States Postal Service and the Bakersfield Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Brian K. Delaney is prosecuting the case.

Geiser is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd on January 16, 2018. Geiser faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
