Neither rain nor sleet nor snow can stop the postman, but a drunken nap apparently was enough to halt one letter carrier in Boynton Beach.
Looking worse than Newman on "Seinfeld," mailman Kevin Crocilla had quite a Wednesday while working his route, according to WPTV.
The letter carrying lush was spotted weaving in his mail truck, then taking a quick snooze.
"Passed out. It looked like he was reading mail, but he was reading mail for like I said 10 or 15 minutes and he never went nowhere," resident Greg Smith told WPTV. "Then he took off down the street. He was all over the road, hit a garbage can. He almost hit the garbage man."
When police caught up to Crocilla around the corner, the 29-year-old was reportedly passed out behind the wheel once again.
Crocilla's blood alcohol level was tested at over three times the legal limit. He told officers he had been drinking wine and then drank a half-bottle of mouthwash to mask the smell.
Crocilla was charged with DUI and later released.
