A 35-year-old USPS driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and leading deputies on a chase during his shift last Tuesday, May 26.
Deputies arrived around 6:30 p.m. at Highland Avenue and Church Street to check on a postal worker who “was exhibiting unusual behavior and had stopped making mail deliveries,” a San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department news release said.
It did not specify what the unusual behavior was.
The driver refused to stop when a USPS supervisor called instructing him to do so, and when deputies tried to conduct a traffic stop around Terrace Drive, sheriff’s officials said.
Eventually, the vehicle stopped on Applewood Street, and deputies took the postal worker into custody.
He was released the following day, Sheriff’s Department records show.
Additional information was not immediately available.
