A Birmingham man has been sentenced to federal prison after he bought two specialized keys from a postal worker that he used to steal mail from outside drop boxes.
Derrell Allen Matthews, 27, bought two “Arrow Keys” for $3,000 each in a deal brokered over Facebook with a woman who worked at the Fairview Heights Station Post Office. At the time of his 2023 arrest, he was in possession of 17 pounds of stolen mail.
