The United States Postal Inspection Service is offering up to $150,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the attempted robbery of a letter carrier last month on the West Side.
About 11 a.m. Nov. 16, the carrier was delivering mail at West 18th Street and South Ridgeway Avenue when the attacker, between 5-foot-11 and 6-foot-1 who weighed about 280 pounds, tried to rob the carrier, the postal inspection service said.
