A Pinch, West Virginia man will spend ten years in prison for taking approximately $80,000 dollars from postal carriers in
two separate armed robberies in Kanawha County.
Keith Lilly, 35, was sentenced in federal court in Charleston yesterday after pleading guilty in June to two felony counts of
armed robbery of a mail custodian.
Lilly was associated with former Spencer postal employee David Banks, Jr., 33, in crimes committed against the postal
service. While at the Spencer office, Banks reportedly stole food stamps.
In 1998, Lilly and Banks robbed a postal truck driver at gunpoint at the Sissonville post office.
Banks had access to information on the routes the postal delivery trucks traveled. Later in 2000, the duo plan another
identical robbery.
Banks, who pleaded guilty to two counts of armed robbery of a mail custodian, and another suspect who pleaded guilty to
one count, are scheduled to be sentenced in October.
