A Memphis man faces up to a decade in prison after admitting to being in possession of goods stolen from interstate shipment, officials said.
On March 3, 2026, Gregory Luss, 44, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of goods stolen from interstate shipment, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Tennessee.
“According to information presented in court, a semi-tractor trailer filled with Water Piks that were intended for shipment to Amazon was stolen from its Bledsoe Cove location in Memphis on October 20, 2023. Luss posted the Water Pik product to sell on an eBay account registered to him on the same day,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Luss is scheduled for sentencing June 3, 2026. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said, “Cargo theft from shipping containers and facilities disrupts and harms crucial interstate commerce here in Memphis, which is known as ‘America’s Distribution Center’. Instead of a luxury Water Pik, Mr. Luss will now have a standard prison-issued toothbrush in the Bureau of Prisons.”
“Thefts of interstate shipments disrupt the delivery of needed goods and drive-up costs for businesses and consumers alike,” said Special Agent in Charge Joseph E. Carrico of the FBI Nashville Field Office. “This guilty plea is an example of the FBI’s unwavering resolve and make it clear that anyone who threatens the nation’s supply chain will be tracked down and held accountable.”
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation Cargo Theft Task Force was the investigating agency on this case.
