N.J. men held postal worker at gunpoint, then used his debit card at Wendy’s, feds say

Prosecutors accused the men of holding a postal employee at gunpoint while robbing the person of a cellphone, keys and wallet in November 2023. They are also accused of stopping the employee from delivering mail, which interfered with interstate commerce.

After the robbery, Brown and Stamps allegedly used a stolen debit card to make purchases at a BP gas station just over a mile away.

Surveillance footage from the gas station captured Brown getting out of a car and using the stolen debit card at the gas station, something Brown later confessed to police after his arrest, charging documents showed.

Stamps is accused by authorities in charging documents of using the stolen debit card at a Wendy’s less than half a mile from the gas station shortly after leaving it. Stamps was under parole supervision at the time of the robbery, and was identified in surveillance footage from the Wendy’s by his parole officer, the complaint alleged.

Two of the men charged were previously convicted of drug charges and weapons offenses, according to authorities.
