Violent Thug Sentenced for Robbing USPS Mail Carriers

A Las Vegas resident, Rodolfo Rafael Rodriguez-Silva, has been sentenced to two years in prison for robbing two U.S. Postal Service (USPS) mail carriers while they were delivering the mail.

According to court documents, on January 18, 2020, Rodriguez-Silva, 21, and another individual, each wearing a ski mask, robbed a USPS mail carrier who was delivering mail. The duo intimidated the mail carrier while the other person stole mail from the USPS vehicle. One week later, on January 25, Rodriguez-Silva accosted another USPS mail carrier while wearing a mask. Rodriguez-Silva stated to the mail carrier, who was delivering mail in North Las Vegas: “I don’t want to hurt you, get to the side of the vehicle.” An individual with Rodriguez-Silva then stole mail from the USPS vehicle.

Rodriguez-Silva pleaded guilty in November 2020 to two counts of robbery of mail, money, or property of the United States. In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Judge Richard F. Boulware II sentenced Rodriguez-Silva to two years of supervised release.

Acting U.S. Attorney Christopher Chiou for the District of Nevada made the announcement. This case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kimberly Frayn and Daniel Clarkson prosecuted the case.

The brazen robberies were just the beginning of the end for Rodriguez-Silva. His conviction and sentencing serve as a reminder that those who commit violent crimes will be held accountable. The public can rest a little easier knowing that Rodriguez-Silva will be behind bars for the next two years.

The Las Vegas community can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the scoundrel is off the streets. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada have worked tirelessly to bring Rodriguez-Silva to justice. Their dedication to keeping our community safe is truly commendable.

In a statement, Acting U.S. Attorney Christopher Chiou said, “We are committed to protecting the public and holding accountable those who commit violent crimes. This case is a prime example of our dedication to keeping our community safe.”
