Overview
- Vanessa Hickman, formerly the state government division chief counsel, was booked on suspicion of theft and trafficking stolen property.
- Court records say a USPS-misdelivered box with about $40,000 in jewelry was delivered to her condo and a $2,400 bracelet was missing when it was returned.
- Investigators report Poshmark data shows she sold the bracelet 10 days earlier after negotiating the price down to $750 from a $1,947 listing.
- Inspectors cite altered packaging and a pre-delivery photo showing the address label, contradicting her claim she never opened the box.
- The Attorney General’s Office placed her on leave Nov. 13, accepted her resignation Monday, and the case has been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
