Smithfield Woman Charged After Missing Package Recovered
SMITHFIELD, N.C. — A Smithfield woman was arrested after police said she took a package containing children’s learning tablets that had been mistakenly delivered to a neighboring apartment.
April Jean Durbin, 44, of Kay Drive was charged June 22 with misdemeanor larceny.
The charge stems from an incident reported earlier that day by a 34-year-old woman who told police two children’s learning tablets had been delivered to her former apartment address. When she went to retrieve the package, it was gone.
Police said they reviewed security camera footage and later questioned Durbin about the missing delivery.
According to a police spokesperson, Durbin initially denied any knowledge of the package. However, officers said she later admitted the tablets were inside her apartment and surrendered the items to police.
The recovered tablets were valued at $87.53.
Durbin was taken into custody and later released on a $5,000 unsecured bond. She is scheduled to appear in Johnston County District Court on the charge.

Why is she living on kay drive??
Not even $100 and now you’ve got a charge and a $5000 bond…was it worth it?!
Really? This is total ignorance so telling a lie got her arrested? Seems to me she made it right eventually so the only thing she’s really done is lie to the police the first time but she came clean so why bother arresting a woman this is just a waste of time
One of the major problems of today’s society: not even recognizing or knowing that what she did was wrong, a sin and against the law–STEALING. Stealing is stealing, and nothing less. THAT is what got her arrested. Total ignorance is not being able to admit that what she did was WRONG and that she broke the law! By the way, lying is ALSO wrong, and a sin.
She got exactly what she deserved! She was married to my son, I no her very well!
