A 23-year-old St. Croix man was sentenced to 16 months in prison for assaulting a U.S. postal carrier, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of the Virgin Islands announced Thursday.
Omarion Webbe was sentenced April 6 by Chief District Judge Robert A. Molloy to 16 months’ imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment, according to the release.
According to court documents, the incident occurred on or about Oct. 15, 2024, while a postal employee was delivering mail at multiple locations on St. Croix. The carrier reported that Webbe approached her several times during her route, making comments she could not initially hear before later making a sexual comment.
The carrier continued her route and encountered Webbe again at another location, where he made an additional sexual comment. When she told him to back off, he struck her on the left side of her buttocks, according to court documents. Two maintenance workers came to assist, but Webbe fled the area.
