Henry Weaver Threatens Mail Carrier, Oxford MS, 2024
A 20-year prison sentence has been handed down to Henry Weaver, 47, of Sledge, Mississippi, for threatening a mail carrier with a dangerous weapon.
The threat occurred on April 23, 2022, in Marks, Mississippi, and was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Quitman County Sheriff’s Office.
Weaver was convicted in federal court on February 13, 2024, of one count of threatening a mail carrier with a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced by United States District Judge Sharion Aycock to 240 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
Weaver, who has been in custody since his arrest in April 2022, was remanded to the U.S. Marshals to begin serving his sentence.
U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, stating, ‘We will not tolerate threats of violence against mail carriers while they are simply doing their jobs.’
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service was commended for their work on the investigation and for helping to protect the community from Weaver. The case was prosecuted by AUSA Robert Mims.
Weaver’s 20-year sentence serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting mail carriers and upholding the law. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and bring you updates as more information becomes available.
