William Carl Jackson, a 36-year-old resident of Sacramento, has admitted to committing armed robberies against postal carriers. Acting United States Attorney Michele Beckwith made the announcement following Jackson's guilty plea.
Court documents reveal that Jackson carried out two separate robberies on July 11 and July 31, 2024. In both instances, he used a fake pistol to threaten the postal workers and demanded their postal keys before escaping on a bicycle.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service conducted the investigation leading to Jackson's arrest. Assistant United States Attorney Elliot C. Wong is handling the prosecution.
Jackson's sentencing is set for June 13, 2025. He could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. The final sentence will be determined by the court based on statutory factors and Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
