Rockford man faces 25 years for armed robbery at U.S. post office

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — A Rockford man faces up to 25 years in prison after being implicated in a robbery at a U.S. Post Office in May.

According to Rockford Police, around 3:02 p.m. on May 27th, 2025, Anthony Johnson, 58, reportedly walked into the United States Post Office at 1140 Broadway, carrying a handgun, and demanded cash from the clerk.

After taking the cash, Johnson fled, but was identified by Rockford Police Detectives and U.S. Postal Inspectors.

Authorities raided Johnson’s home in an attempt to catch him. During the search, Johnson is said to have fled into a neighboring apartment, but was apprehended by detectives.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday that Johnson had been indicted by a federal grand jury on the charge of robbing a person having lawful charge, control, and custody of money of the United States and putting said person’s life in jeopardy by the use of a dangerous weapon.
