A 61-year-old local man who tried to rob the U.S. Post Office in San Marcos on Thursday remained behind bars the next day in lieu of a $75,000 bond.
Peter James Stoughton, who has no prior Hays County arrest record, reportedly displayed a note saying, “This is a robbery. Hand over the money” to a postal employee around 2 p.m., Commander Brandon Winkenwerder said in an email response to a Daily Record inquiry.
“A detailed description of the offender was provided and he was located at the intersection of Wonder World and Stagecoach by responding police units,” Winkenwerder wrote.
