Arapahoe County Man Sentenced To Four Years In Prison In Connection With Robbery Of Mail Carrier

In September of 2023, Dravell Emon Ross, age 28, of Arapahoe County, 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. Ross and the other individuals attempted to obtain a universal mailbox key to access community mailboxes. The men were unable to steal the universal key, but did steal various pieces of mail, packages, and a postal scanner. The postal carrier suffered minor injuries as a result of the robbery. The other suspects in this case have not yet been charged.

“Mail theft is an all-too-common occurrence in our communities,” said Acting United States Attorney for the District of Colorado Matt Kirsch. “Our office is focused on keeping our communities safe and prosecuting these crimes to the fullest extent of the law.”

“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 Inspector in Charge 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 defendant was sentenced on July 12, 2024, by Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney.

The case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service. The prosecution was handled by Assistant United States Attorney Tim Neff.
