Eliezer Valcourt, a 32-year-old Florida mailman, was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) while on duty with the U.S. Postal Service in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday night. According to an arrest report cited by local outlet WSVN, Valcourt had a blood alcohol content nearly three times over the legal limit of 0.08%. The incident started when police received calls about his erratic behavior and near-miss with another officer; upon arriving at the scene, officers noted that Valcourt appeared intoxicated. He was then taken into custody after failing field sobriety tests administered by a DUI officer. Valcourt is expected to be released on bond later Wednesday evening.
