NASHUA – Baraka Janvier of Lowell, Mass., was sentenced on March 27 to three months in jail for his role in the armed robbery of a U.S. postal worker last April.

According to the Nashua Police Department, officers responded to Blacksmith Way on the afternoon of April 16, 2024. The mail carrier told police that Janvier held him at gunpoint and demanded his Arrow key, which is used to open blue postal boxes.

Janvier turned himself in the following day and told officers that he sold the key for $500. Authorities later determined that the weapon he used was actually a BB gun.

His co-conspirator, Tyler Savinon, also of Lowell, Mass., is charged with directing Janvier to execute the robbery and is expected to plead guilty.

Following his jail sentence, Janvier will be on supervised release for two years and will be required to complete 100 hours of community service.

Prosecutors had asked that he be sentenced to more than two years behind bars. According to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office, Janvier could have been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison, up to the three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
