His attorney blamed the defendant’s recent meth addiction, which was a “misguided attempt to identify with” his deceased brother.
OAKLAND — A city resident was sentenced this month to six years and five months in federal prison for robbing an Oakland mail carrier in 2021, court records show.
Javon Zachary, 34, was sentenced May 9 by U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam, after pleading guilty to gun charges and robbery, court records show. He was immediately remanded to the Bureau of Prisons service, and must be on supervised release for three years after his prison term is over., but prosecutors dropped charges as part of a plea agreement.
“It is particularly alarming that the defendant intended to impersonate a postal worker to carry out additional crimes following the armed robbery,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Kleiman said in court records, adding that Zachary’s crime occurred just 15 months after his release from federal prison for a gun conviction.
When Zachary was charged in December 2021, prosecutors alleged that after he robbed a mail carrier, he ran away, but came across a motorist in need of assistance. The criminal complaint says Zachary helped the motorist fix his car, then pulled out his pistol and carjacked the man, only to have the car break a short distance away. He then allegedly pushed the vehicle to nearby gas station with the victim running after him.
