TOLEDO, Ohio — Editor's note: The following story has been edited to reflect new information regarding the incident made available in a Toledo police report.
One day after a man was arrested for postal robbery for a separate incident, another United States Postal Service letter carrier was robbed in Toledo.
According to the United States Postal Inspection Service, a letter carrier was the victim of an armed robbery in a north Toledo neighborhood on Saturday morning.
USPS says the robbery occurred at 10:28 a.m. near the intersection of East Hudson and Chestnut Street.
The only description of the suspect was that he was a young black male.
According to a Toledo police report, the suspect brandished a gun at the postal carrier and demanded his keys. The victim threw the keys to the suspect, which included a master key. The suspect then fled southbound on Elm Street, police said.
A $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.
Robbery of a USPS letter carrier is punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison, and/or significant fines, according to a USPS representative.
Michael Brim, who is a union representative with the National Association of Letter Carriers and a postal worker himself, says robberies like this one offer a new challenge to the people who carry the mail.
"People walk up to you and say ‘hello, can you deliver something to my house’. Now you have to worry about what their motive is in coming up to you,” said Brim. “It used to be the letter carrier, someone messed with the letter carrier and everyone in the neighborhood had your back."
This is the second robbery of a letter carrier in the past three weeks.
On the afternoon of July 20, a letter carrier in south Toledo was robbed at gunpoint, according to USPS.
That robbery occurred on Ryewyck Drive. Officials say USPS equipment was stolen from a truck in that incident.
On August 4, Michael Todd Bush Jr. was arrested for Robbery of a Postal Worker. He was booked in the Lucas County Jail.
