A Richmond man was sentenced today to 20 months in prison for theft of mail by a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employee.
According to court documents, Terell Taylor, 40, a USPS employee and postal carrier assigned to deliver mail in Richmond from at least April 2023 through December 2023, stole mail entrusted to his care on multiple occasions.
Taylor then sold stolen mail in bulk to a co-conspirator in exchange for cash. For instance, on November 29, 2023, Taylor removed mail from the mail stream in his USPS vehicle and placed the mail in two black trash bags.
Then, Taylor sold the two black trash bags for $300.
Taylor was a multiple-time convicted felon with over 20 prior convictions for felony theft-related offences. He also had prior convictions for eluding police and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The USPS no longer employs Taylor.
