FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies say a United States Postal Service mail carrier accused of being drunk on the job was also involved in a hit-and-run.

Just before 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Forsyth County deputies were called to a hit and run that had just happened between a driver and USPS mail truck driver identified as 55-year-old Darrell Cox.

The driver told deputies she was leaving a store along Matt Highway, when a mail truck, driven by Cox, hit the front driver side of her SUV. The driver told deputies Cox left the scene after she tried talking with him.

According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, while deputies were speaking to the driver, they received a call about an erratic driver in a mail truck in the area of Oak Grove Circle and Hubert Martin Road. The witness told dispatch that she was behind the mail truck driver and was able to obtain the ID number.
