BLOOMINGTON — A Bloomington woman is facing multiple charges after police found her with numerous stolen packages in her vehicle during a traffic stop.
Tiffany Nichole Flynn, 40, was arrested on August 30 after Bloomington Police pulled over a silver Hyundai near South Walnut and East Second streets.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Flynn was a passenger in the car when officers noticed approximately 15 packages in the back seat addressed to different people. Flynn allegedly admitted that she had taken the packages from porches in the areas of Hunter Avenue, Second Street, University Street, and Oolitic Road. Police recovered parcels belonging to at least 11 different individuals, including students from Indiana University and residents.
During the traffic stop, officers also discovered methamphetamine, marijuana, and smoking devices in Flynn’s purse. She allegedly confessed that the drugs were hers. Flynn was taken to IU Health Bloomington before being booked into the Monroe County Jail.
Prosecutors have filed 11 felony theft charges against Flynn, along with a Level 6 felony count of possession of methamphetamine. Because she was previously convicted of theft in 2024, prosecutors have also filed a notice to seek an enhanced penalty if she is convicted in the current case. Flynn also faces misdemeanor counts for possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This article is based on the information provided in the Probable Cause Affidavit and does not represent a final determination of guilt or innocence.
