CLEVELAND — A man has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to his involvement in the robberies of two United States Postal Service (USPS) workers in Cleveland last August.
According to a release, Isaiah Taylor was sentenced to a six-year, six-month prison term on Jan. 4. Taylor previously pled guilty to his involvement in the aggravated robberies of two USPS mail carriers in Cleveland on Aug. 17, 2022.
“This sentencing should serve as a notice to would be criminals that the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and our law enforcement partners do not take attacks on postal employees lightly; and will not rest until those committing these attacks on our brave postal employees are behind bars,” USPS Inspector in Charge Lesley Allison said in a statement.
“The well-coordinated effort in this case between the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Cleveland Heights Police Department is an example of our unwavering commitment to ensure the safety and well-being of Postal Service employees.”
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service asks that anyone who notices any suspicious activity towards U.S. Postal Service workers report it to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service by calling 877-876-2455.
