Postal Worker in Ohio Caught Speeding Over 100MPH in Mail Van

Unusual Traffic Stop for a U.S. Postal Service Van

It's not every day that you hear someone ask a United States Postal Service van, "Is there a reason you're going over 100?" This was the case in Ohio when a deputy pulled over a U.S. Postal Service mail van for speeding at over 100 mph in a 60 mph zone. The driver's response was simply, "I didn't realize I was going that fast."

Details of the Incident

The incident, which was captured on body camera footage, happened just before 2 p.m. on April 21 on Route 20, west of Fremont, as reported by KKTV. The traffic report revealed that the van had no plates and that the driver seemed to be racing a Ford Mustang. The deputy in the video can be heard saying, "Yeah. I mean, that Mustang took off. He caught my attention, and then you blew by him, and I was pacing you at like 105."

Identification of the Driver and Consequences

The driver was identified as 28-year-old Drew Brown, an employee of the Fremont post office, according to court records. The KKTV report stated that Brown waived the case, paid a $50 fine for the traffic violation, and received a verbal warning for racing. The Post Office has confirmed that Drew Brown is an employee and that the incident is under investigation. However, they declined to comment further on this specific individual personnel matter.
