A 35-year-old Jackson woman is in custody Tuesday accused of stealing money from the Jackson post office.

Jackson police interviewed Amanda S. Overbeck on Monday, who reportedly confessed to the theft and to possessing a controlled substance, according to a police release Tuesday.

According to the statement, the police department worked with the U.S. Postal Service in the investigation in which evidence recovered led authorities to Overbeck.

The statement said Overbeck has been charged with felony stealing and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance. Her bond was set at $3,500 and she was transferred to the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Department.
