According to reports, a South Carolina man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier who refused to deliver a marijuana package. The carrier reportedly "left a note in the mailbox requiring him to come to a South Carolina post office to pick it up."
Trevor Raekwon Seward, 25, was found guilty of murder of a federal employee in the course of her duties for the shooting of Irene Pressley, 64, in rural Williamsburg County. Authorities say when Seward found the note in his mailbox in lieu of the marijuana package from California he was expecting, he confronted the mail carrier before heading into this home to retrieve a semi-automatic rifle.
Seward then waited for Pressley to drive down the street before firing 20 times at her mail truck, striking her several times. "Seward then drove the mail truck into a ditch on an access road at a hunting club, searched through it to try to find his marijuana and anything else valuable, and then left the Pressley's body in her truck, prosecutors said," per ABC News.
What's more, "the co-defendant who helped Seward look for the mail carrier was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Jerome Terrell Davis, 31, pleaded guilty to robbery and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute marijuana."
