United States Attorney's Office Eastern District of New York
Earlier today, a ten-count indictment was unsealed charging the defendant Alfonso Forney with robbery of a postal worker, a related firearms offense, mail theft related offenses, wire fraud, bank fraud, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft. The defendant’s initial appearance is scheduled for this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Marutollo at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn.
Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and Daniel Brubaker, Inspector-in-Charge, United States Postal Inspection Service, New York Division (USPIS) announced the charges.
“The safety of our mail carriers is essential to assuring the unobstructed flow of goods, checks and information through the United States Postal Service,” stated United States Attorney Breon Peace. “The defendant’s pattern of violent behavior endeavored to turn this vital system into his own personal pipeline for theft and fraud.”
