On Feb. 13, property theft detectives with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office received a report regarding a theft involving a package that was never delivered two days prior, authorities said in a Facebook post.
An investigation into the alleged theft resulted in authorities identifying 27-year-old Tyran Jackson, a FedEx delivery driver, as a suspect in the case.
Authorities also learned the missing package was located inside a storage unit at the 10500 block of Perkins Road in Baton Rouge, according to police.
While executing a search warrant for the storage unit, investigators discovered approximately $62,000 worth of stolen FedEx merchandise inside the unit.
Photos shared by the police department show piles of boxes, including a Nike footwear box and large quantities of cigars, along with other smoking supplies.
Following the discovery and cataloging of the items, Jackson was subsequently located and taken into custody, police said.

Undelivered”??? They were stolen.
UPS has “lost” several packages I never got. It’s worse than FedEx or the USPS imo.
My little brother had a paper route back in the day and when he ended his route with leftover newspapers he dumped them in an irrigation ditch.
Ditto. We get deliveries from FedEX, UPS, Amazon, and USPS. I can’t even remember when we didn’t receive an order. Amazing, really.
Tyran-too-slow.
Except Wilson is “meant” to be thrown and kicked.
Well it sure took a long time for Tom Hanks to be
rescued in Castaway - and that was a plane full of
FedEx packages plus a very expensive plane no less!
/sarcasm off
😂. That’s rather funny. :)
It was reparations Judge honest..................
Yes. So I am guessing out of Billions of packages flowing through delivery system, 0.005% missing is normal. I am sure Fedex knows who was responsible for the missing items, and they probably fired the worker and will not bother with prosecution since that cost will far exceed value of items list.
I let amazon know it wasn't a porch pirate.
USPS, FEDEX, UPS...must be having a hard time finding employees that haven't...served time.
I've moved my financial/other important all online...occasionally something comes via USPS...it's either torn open in the corner OR gets "lost" and/or "put in someone else's box".
Having "Informed Delivery" by USPS is good in that regard.
I do lot of shopping online with Walmart. Walmart has its own local delivery system and has missed a few items. Walmart is very quick in issuing refunds without hassle or arguments, when that happens.
But through Walmart online or store shopping. Walmart will take back any item without arguments or issue refunds for damaged items online.
Likely he recorded and photographed it as delivered and then walked back to his truck with it.
But hey, he has a picture of it left at the residence. Some porch pirate stole it or the customer is lying.
yep: “Tyran Jackson” ... don’t even need to look for a pic ...
The drivers game the system, marking them as delivered and then taking them back, and similiar stunts. It seems easy enough to solve but FedEx doesn't take the effort until they lose contracts.
The executives at FedEx know they can't or won't pay for better employees or quality control and leave it up to the victims, both shippers and recipients, to sort it out.
Thought his name was Newman.
“There are cameras everywhere at storage facilities. What a moron.” ... and GPS on every FedEx truck ...
besides, it would be impossible to trace hundreds of “missing” packages to a single driver, anyway, right?
Wonder if Dave will make someone overpay for the locker.
Dave is ok. Barry is my all time Storage Wars favorite.
