Columbus man receives over six years in prison for robbing mail carriers at gunpoint

A Columbus man has been sentenced to 78 months in federal prison for robbing two seperate USPS mail carriers at gunpoint.

According to a press release from the United States Department of Justice, Campbell stole an “arrow” key, which is used to access mailboxes, and a vehicle key from a Gahanna mail carrier on September 8, 2021.

Less than two weeks later, on Sept. 21, 2021, Campbell robbed a second mail carrier of their arrow key on the Southeast Side.

In both instances, Campbell used a handgun and a mask.

“This case represents two robberies in a string of assaults against postal carriers in Ohio,” said U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Parker in a press release. “The sentence imposed here should serve as a reminder to anyone committing these crimes that you will be identified and prosecuted, and you will spend time in federal prison.”

Campbell originally admitted to the crimes in March.
