KOKOMO, Ind. – A Kokomo man was arrested for trying to rob a postal worker on Monday afternoon.

At around 1:45, a 23-year-old woman was delivering mail on the north side of the city when she was attacked.

Police say Elisha Graham approached the postal worker several times throughout her route, demanding a package. The postal worker refused to give Graham the package, which was addressed to a vacant home. When she went back to her truck, she told police Graham grabbed her and put a knife to her back.

Police say Graham looked through the truck, trying to find the package. He was unsuccessful and took off. The postal worker called 911 and gave police a good description of the suspect and the vehicle.

It only took a few hours for police to find Graham a few blocks away, hiding in a home.

Investigators say the package was sent from out of state, a state considered a “target state.” Detectives are not yet releasing what was inside the small package. More at CBS WTTV
