Seven year sentence for trying to rob Bryan post office

Houston, Tx ( FOX 44 ) – A 26-year-old Bryan man has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison for an attempted robbery of the Bryan Post Office back in 2019.

Adon Bryce Clary had been convicted back in March in a four day trial on charges of attempted robbery of a post office with a dangerous weapon, assault of a public official with a dangerous weapon and assault of public officials with intent to commit a felony. The jury deliberated about two hours before returning the guilty verdict.

U.S. District Judge George Hanks Tuesday ordered Clary to serve 84 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release. At the hearing, the court considered statements from postal employees and customers, including one victim that explained the harrowing experience they underwent and the effect it continues to have on their lives. In handing down the sentence, Judge Hanks noted Clary could not be trusted to not put others in harm’s way if released.

On April 29, 2019, Clary entered the post office located at 2121 Wm. Bryan Parkway in Bryan. Clary proceeded to bang a Game of Thrones beer bottle while pointing an apparent firearm at the clerks. Clary demanded all of the mail while stating he had a gun. The “firearm” was actually an empty pack of menthol cigarettes.

Five postal workers, three post office customers, three Bryan police officers and two postal inspectors testified during the trial. The postal workers and civilians all explained in emotional detail the fear they had for their lives.

In addition, the jury saw body camera video from the officers and a cell phone video of the incident taken by one of the postal workers.

Clary will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined.
