2 Ohio men connected to Cleveland-area postal key theft sentenced to prison
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two men convicted for their roles in the armed robberies of postal carriers in the Columbus area and also connected to a theft of a postal key in Northeast Ohio have been sentenced by a federal judge to multiple years in prison.
Cody “Drose” Beasley, 23, of Columbus, was sentenced Monday to more than six years in prison, while Kenan “Swerv” Lay, 21, also of Columbus, was sentenced on April 19 to 5½ years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says court documents show Lay provided the 9mm handgun used in the armed robbery of an elderly female postal worker on May 11, 2023, at a post office in Columbus. The postal worker was pistol-whipped during the robbery.
