St. Paul man sentenced for robbing Twin Cities postal workers at gunpoint
A St. Paul man who pleaded guilty to robbing two Twin Cities postal workers at gunpoint has been sentenced to more than a decade in prison.
Rubin Adams entered guilty pleas for two counts of armed robbery of a mail carrier in December. On Thursday, a judge handed down concurrent sentences of 132 months in prison and five years of supervised release for each count, according to court records.
One count each of theft of postal service keys and mail theft against Adams were dropped.
Prosecutors said Adams robbed mail carriers in Edina and Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19, 2023, brandishing a gun and demanding mailbox keys in each instance.
Authorities tied Adams to the robberies using surveillance footage, cellphone data, social media videos and a GPS-enabled ankle monitor he was wearing due to charges in Georgia.
The judge also ordered Adams to pay nearly $78,000 in restitution.

I've just been sent £170 fine for not paying a parking ticket … six years ago
I have received two letters from National Parking Enforcement Ltd (NPE) demanding £170 for failing 'to correctly use a pay & display machine' in a car park six years ago. It doesn't specify what I did incorrectly – I'm guessing I made a typo when entering my car reg because the buttons on the machines are so faded and Os and zeros look identical. I'm told I face court and a damaged credit rating if I don't stump up. ML, Fakenham It looks as though NPE is hurrying to collect the money before the clock runs down. Private parking operators have to issue a ticket within 14 days of the alleged contravention if sending by post. If it's taped to your windscreen and you fail to pay, the operator has an additional 56 days to send a notice to your home address. You say you never received any notice and were unaware of the alleged debt until the legal threats arrived. Private parking charges are not legally enforceable without a county court judgment, and the statute of limitations bars court action once six years have passed. Related: 'Pay here': the QR code 'quishing' scam targeting drivers The demands you received were sent days before the six years were up, and the deadline has since expired. Moreover, NPE has failed to provide evidence that you breached the terms and conditions. When you demanded details and proof of what you had done wrong it repeated, robotically, that you had used the machine incorrectly. It declared to me that it could not discuss cases with a third party, and refused to answer if, and when, it issued a parking charge notice and why it did not follow up earlier. I believe a court would take a dim view of this, even if it agreed to hear the case, so you could probably ignore it. But if you are worried, I suggest you write to NPE stating that you will not pay unless it provides all those details by a specific date. We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at or write to Consumer Champions, Money, the Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number. Submission and publication of all letters is subject to our terms and conditions.
