TOLEDO, Ohio (WKBN) – A Toledo man pleaded guilty this week to robbing a letter carrier at gunpoint.
Michael Bush, 22, pleaded guilty to robbery of mail, money, or other property of the United States, stealing mail collection box keys, and mail theft.
According to court documents, the letter carrier was robbed in July 2023 while sitting in a parked USPS truck. Bush grabbed keys to the mail truck and the collection boxes and then robbed the letter carrier at gunpoint of a personal cellphone and USPS scanner.
A witness who saw the robbery gave police a description of the suspect, and surveillance video further helped to identify a vehicle involved that was registered to Bush, investigators said.
Police searched Bush’s home where they found a black garbage bag containing mail. Firearms and magazines were also recovered in the search. Investigators also said that Bush’s cellphone showed pictures of him posing with large stacks of cash and firearms.
Bush is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 5.
To report mail theft or other crimes committed through or toward the United States Postal Service, call the USPIS at 1-877-876-2455 or visit uspis.gov/report. For more information about combatting mail theft visit Project Sage Delivery.
