Some good news for once!
Please visit the link below to read about the sentencing of a Little Rock man to more than 10 Years in federal prison for armed robbery of a Little Rock letter carrier.
In February 2024, the carrier was delivering to a NBU at an apartment complex. A young man in a gray hoodie asked the carrier if they were finished delivering on the other side. The perpetrator grabbed the arrow lock key still in the lock, which was attached to the carrier’s belt. The perpetrator had his left hand on the key and his right hand on a gun. The carrier was successful in removing the key chain from the belt, and thankfully, was not physically injured.
Please remind our brothers and sisters to be safe out there and always be aware.
