Bryan resident heads to prison for attempted robbery and assault of postal worker



A 26-year-old Bryan resident has been sentenced after a conviction for assaulting and attempting to rob a postal worker, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

The jury deliberated for two hours before convicting Adon Bryce Clary March 22 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 following a four-day trial.

U.S. District Judge George Hanks has now 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 Clary had a gun. The “firearm” was actually an empty pack of green Paul Maul 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 which one of the postal workers took.

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

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph Anthony Porto and Adam Laurence Goldman prosecuted the case.

Outcome:

Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to 84 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release
