45-year-old Windy Hyer flagged officers down on East Old Hickory Boulevard for a ride to the bus station because it was raining on December 23rd. They gladly offered to take her and opened the patrol car for her to enter. A third party stopped and notified officers that Hyer had the neighbor’s, Carmen Martinez’s, mail in her hand. Officers asked Hyer where the mail was from, and she said she was getting it for a friend and provided a name unrelated to the mail. Officers went to the residence listed on the mail and asked the owner, Martinez if anyone was allowed to take the mail, to which she responded no. Windy Hyer was taken into custody for the theft of mail.
Windy D Hyer of Old Hickory Boulevard in Madison, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on December 23rd, charged with theft of mail. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $2,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.
