DAVENPORT, Iowa – The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa reports, a United States District Court Judge sentenced a 24-year old Rock Island, IL. man to 10-months in prison, for assault on a postal worker. Bryan Christopher Hanson was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release to follow his prison term and pay $100 to the Crime Victims’ Fund.

On November 18th, 2019, Hanson pleaded guilty to the offense. The investigation began after a report was made by a mail carrier that a male was harassing her. Hanson sought the postal
carrier out and physically grabbed her while she was on duty. She was able to run away, but the defendant continued to pursue and got into his car and followed her. The mail carrier received
help from a bystander before police arrived.

The matter was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
