DuPage County Judge Denies Detention for Mail Carrier Armed Robbery Suspect

A recent court decision in DuPage County has sparked controversy as a judge refused to detain a man accused of robbing a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier at gunpoint. Judge Joshua Dieden cited the significant passage of time since the alleged offense and the defendant’s lack of criminal history in rejecting the state’s detention petition, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Details of the Robbery

Prosecutors revealed that the incident occurred in Hinsdale, where an unknown gunman approached a mail carrier emptying mail from collection boxes around 1:21 p.m. on May 9, 2022. The robber brandished a gun and demanded the victim’s master key, which unlocks collection boxes in various western suburbs. The assailant then fled in a black Nissan driven by Antwan Kelsor, a 22-year-old from Chicago.

Following the robbery, the stolen key was used to pilfer mail in Hinsdale and Oak Brook over the ensuing weeks. Approximately a month later, Kelsor and accomplice Maurice Deloach, 23, also from Chicago, utilized the same Nissan to steal mail from boxes in the area. The duo was apprehended in Oakbrook Terrace on the same night.

Seized Evidence and Charges

During the investigation, authorities executed a search warrant on the Nissan, uncovering the mail carrier’s master key, unopened mail from collection boxes, and stolen checks from the mail system. It was alleged that Kelsor and Deloach attempted to sell the stolen checks, deposit them, and withdraw funds from the receiving accounts. In total, checks worth $508,714.88 were recovered.
