Mail carrier kidnapped after group thinks cocaine was stolen from NY package, feds say

Three New York residents face life in prison for their roles in the kidnapping of a U.S. postal worker who they accused of stealing a package containing drugs, federal prosecutors say.

Mark Rogers, 38; Joseph Way, 36; and Rogers’ girlfriend, Tashara Levans, 37, all of Rochester, pleaded guilty to kidnapping in the November 2019 incident, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York announced in a Dec. 15 news release.

The postal worker, identified in court documents as “Victim A,” was delivering mail when Rogers and Way confronted her about a package of cocaine they were expecting to be delivered that day, according to a news release.

The pair forced the mail carrier into Rogers’ Infiniti SUV, where Levans was waiting, court documents state.

For two hours, Levans drove Rogers and Way around Rochester in the SUV as they held the mail carrier against her will. They then threatened to shoot and kill Victim A unless she handed over the “stolen” drugs, or paid them $70,000 for what the drugs were worth.

Way allegedly “took a photograph of Victim A’s cell phone displaying Victim A’s children and threatened to harm Victim A and her family” if she told police what happened, court documents state.

That’s going to leave a mark. Those three are in about the most serious trouble you can be in.

The Postman’s Motto does say something about delivering the mail despite the presence of snow.

They were probably tracking it on the USPS tracking system where it said "out for delivery".

Dummies should have waited two more days......

Considering the fact that the USPS is compromised and in cahoots with the RATs and election fraud, I’m siding with the druggie kidnappers on this one.

Interesting that they don’t name Victim A. I remember in California mail carriers were getting attacked because they crossed between gang territories. What the media didn’t bother to mention was that they also running drugs.

Meanwhile the corrupt FBI is busy scanning USPS packages for ivermectin, ‘cause we all know what a scourge that drug is on the streets.

Meanwhile, the USPS is spending its time looking for horsey paste in packages.

“out for delivery”.

Usually happens with my stuff on a Friday followed by “Delivered” on Saturday then the package will show up on Monday or Tuesday.
