MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - Memphis police have arrested one suspect for the armed robbery of a U.S. Postal carrier Monday morning in Frayser.

The robbery occurred around 10 a.m. on Monday, October 1 on the 2400-block of Bethlehem Avenue. The mailman told police he was getting back in to his delivery truck when two masked gunmen came up to him and demanded all of his mail. The mailman handed over two trays of mail while one suspect held a gun to his waist. The suspects dumped the mail into their own bag and took the mailman's delivery bag before driving away in a silver Lexus.

Police arrested 23-year-old Delrico Dansberry after he was identified from a photo line-up as the driver of the Lexus. He is charged with Aggravated Robbery and is being held on $50,000 bond.

Dansberry denied any involvement with the robbery.

This boy, (definately NOT a man) won't fare well in general population. Get used to the saggy pants. They'll come in handy for a prison punk.
