Postal Worker Charged with DUI

 Posted on September 29, 2013 in DUI

Thomas M. Hackney, a 40-year-old U.S. Postal Service worker "was charged with drunken driving after he crashed a mail truck while on duty and injured himself" in early July, according to the Chicago Tribune. The postman was charged with a misdemeanor for DUI, police told the Tribune, and was taken by the fire department from the scene of the crash to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital in Cook County. According to the Tribune, Hackney told police that, "another vehicle turned in front of him, causing him to swerve and the ‘next thing he knew he was at a hospital.’"

When questioned by police at the hospital regarding the crash, Hackney could not remember which road he was traveling on. He told police that the reason he smelled of alcohol and had glassy, bloodshot eyes was because he had had a "bit" to drink the night before, but when tested, his blood alcohol level proved to be more than two times the legal limit. Hackney didn’t remember whether he had dropped to mail off downtown or if he was doing pickups at the time of the crash. He will appear in court in August.
