In what can only be described as a “you can’t make this up” moment, a USPS mail carrier in Florida was arrested for driving under the influence—while on duty in a postal truck. Yes, you read that right.
According to police reports, the 33-year-old driver reportedly stopped at a house party during her delivery route, knocked back a few drinks, then got back on the road behind the wheel of a federal vehicle. Neighbors were left absolutely stunned as the postal truck weaved through traffic like it was auditioning for Fast & Furious: Mail Edition.
Authorities say the driver’s blood alcohol level was well above the legal limit. She was promptly pulled over after concerned locals called 911, fearing the truck was about to “take out half the neighborhood” (their words, not ours).
How Did It Come to This?
- Mail.
- Party.
- DUI.
Apparently, the combination of “delivering letters” and “one too many shots” doesn’t end well.
Public Reaction
Social media went wild. One Twitter user joked:
“I knew I shouldn’t have asked for my Amazon package to be delivered today… apparently USPS is running a tipsy express service now.”
Another added:
“She’s not just dropping letters… she’s dropping jaws.”
USPS Responds
The USPS has confirmed the driver has been suspended pending investigation and stressed that the incident is “highly unusual” and “not reflective of our employees’ dedication to safe mail delivery.” Translation: “We’re as shocked as you are.”
Lessons Learned
- Never mix deliveries and tequila.
- Public trust is fragile.
- If your mail carrier is driving like Vin Diesel, maybe call 911.
Whether this will inspire a new Netflix drama about rogue mail carriers or just become the cautionary tale for party-loving drivers, one thing is clear: this story has the internet absolutely shook.
