ST. LOUIS – Two men already accused of robbing two U.S. Postal Service workers at gunpoint in St. Louis County have been charged with a third robbery.
Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri said the amended indictment charges Roy Lee Jones, 21, and Xavier Sean Boyd, 20, with three counts of robbery, three counts of theft of a mail key, and three counts of possession and branding a firearm in furtherance of a robbery.
According to charging documents, Jones approached a mail carrier near Lindbergh Boulevard and New Halls Ferry Road around 12:30 p.m. on June 9, 2022. Police said he demanded an “arrow key,” which opens certain USPS collection boxes. About 18 minutes later, authorities said Boyd robbed a different mail carrier of his arrow key, a half-mile away from the first incident.
