A UPS truck driver is charged with DUI and careless driving after he admitted to drinking on the job.
According to an arrest report, an employee of Middletown Elementary School called police Monday when the “regular” UPS driver, Matthew Caskey, showed up smelling of alcohol. Officers searched the truck and found nothing, but after the officer left the scene, he saw a UPS truck speeding on Old Shelbyville Road.
As the truck passed the officer going the opposite way, the arrest report says, it almost hit the raised curb. Caskey was then pulled over, but he denied making a delivery to Middletown Elementary School, although a passenger in the truck confirmed that. The officer noticed slurred speech from Caskey, the arrest report says, and eyes that looked “very tired and red.”
