(Marion, IA) -- An Iowa postal carrier has been arrested and charged for public intoxication after being found sitting on the kitchen floor of a house in Marion eating leftover noodles with her hands. Police say the 46-year-old woman got inside the house through an unlocked door. She was found with her mail-carrying bag next to her. As she enjoyed the noodle snack, 95-year-old homeowner Marie O'Kelly was watching TV in the living room. Hearing a noise, O'Kelly headed toward the kitchen where she discovered the mail lady on the floor. A preliminary breath test revealed her blood alcohol content was point-281. As a result, the 17-year employee of the Post Office has been placed on unpaid leave. (Copyright 2009 by VERTEXNews/Newsroom Solutions) RNS-11-19-09 0227CST |
