DENVER (KDVR) — An Arapahoe County man was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of mail theft and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery related to an incident that happened last September.
In a release, the United States Attorney for the District of Colorado said that Dravell Emon Ross, 28, accepted a plea agreement .
Colorado influencer’s conviction partially overturned on appeal “According to the facts within the parties’ plea agreement, in September of 2023, Ross and two other individuals committed a strong-arm robbery of a postal carrier while she was on duty in her mail truck taking her lunch break,” the release stated.
Ross and the two other people tried to get a universal mailbox key so they could access the community mailboxes, however, they were not able to get the key. They did manage to steal various pieces of mail, packages, and a postal scanner, according to the release.
The postal carrier sustained minor injuries in the robbery.
Letter carrier robberies continue as the US Postal Service, union and lawmakers seek solutions “The United States Postal Inspection Service will not tolerate violence against any U.S. Postal Service employees or theft of the U.S. Mail,” said Bryan Musgrove of the Denver Division of the United States Postal Inspection Service. “Postal Inspectors will relentlessly pursue these offenders and ensure they are held responsible for their crimes.”
The other suspects have not yet been charged, according to the release.
