“I’m like, ‘Oh, you gotta be kidding me,’” Sandusky Co. Deputy tells driver
Newly released video of a traffic stop along Route 20 west of Fremont shows body cam footage from a Sandusky County Deputy. He had just pulled over a USPS Mail Van for speeding, going more than 100 mph in a 60 mph zone.
“Is there a reason you’re going over 100?” video shows the deputy asking the driver, to which the driver replies, “I didn’t realize I was going that fast.”
According to the traffic report from Sandusky County, the van had no plates and the driver appeared to be racing a Ford Mustang. In the body cam video, the deputy goes on to say, “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.”
The postal worker identified herself as from the Fremont Post Office. The stop happened Sunday, April 21, 2024, at about 1:51 PM. Court records identify the driver as Drew Brown, 28, of Fremont. She waived the case, which is now closed, and paid $50 as the first installment of a $240 fine for the traffic violation after receiving a verbal warning for racing.
A spokesperson for the USPS emailed 13 Action News this statement:
“Drew Brown is an employee. It is under investigation and as a matter of policy, we are unable to comment further on a specific individual personnel matter.” - Naddia Dhalai, Spokesperson, USPS
Editor’s note: a previous version of this story said the driver paid a $50 fine for the traffic violation. A court clerk later clarified that the $50 listing on the court records refers to the first payment of a $240 fine.
Old story, new info:
Mustang pulled over before cop chased down van.
Did he/she win?................
One explanation: The young, female postal worker was
flirting with the mustang driver.
She accepted his implied challenge to ‘own’ that road.
Probably the most reckless fun she’s had since that mechanical bull at the nightclub.
As long as he gets the mail delivered on time
Was the postal van driven by Newman and Kramer??????????
"Swift completion. I see. Case dismissed."
Ohio, for those who wondered.
If she was anywhere near Anthony Freemont of nearby Peaksville, she is justified in going as fast as she can.
The ultimate “sleeper”.
Easier to find the USPS van later if it got away, I guess.
Well, at least she didn’t “go postal” and shoot anybody.
I didn’t know post office vans would do that. When my car dies, I may need to look for a used post office delivery van.
The driver was apparently a woman - once, twice, three times a lady.
They should make this an annual event:
The Post Office 500
50 USPS vans race at Daytona
vs
50 UPS vans and 50 FedEx fans
Vans
Officer: why are you driving so fast ?
Keyhopper, express mail sir.
Cliff Clavin would never drive that fast.
