USPS mail carrier charged with DUI after crashing into tree in Spanish Ft.
) - A U.S. Postal Service employee was arrested and charged with DUI Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023 in Spanish Fort after police said she lost control of her mail delivery truck and crashed into a tree. Spanish Fort police said the driver was given a breathalyzer alcohol test at the scene where she tested well over the legal limit.
It was just before 3 p.m. as school was getting out and children returning home when the crash happened. A mail truck being driven by 39-year-old Mary Priest struck a tree after police said she lost control. “It is definitely bizarre because you had an on-duty mail carrier delivering mail, obviously impaired while she was delivering in the middle of the afternoon,” said Spanish Fort Police Chief, John Barber.
“She admitted drinking to the officers,” Barber said. “At the scene, they administered a field breathalyzer. Not the official one that you would get at the police station, but on the scene. She blew a point-one-four.”
