Police officers reported finding a mail carrier passed out drunk in his U.S. Postal Service mail truck in Boynton Beach.

According to a release, police received a 911 call Wednesday afternoon reporting a mail truck parked on the side of a road with the driver slumped over the wheel. Officers found a 29-year-old man, whose blood alcohol content was tested to be .264 and .258, more than three times the legal limit.

The man, who was in the middle of his work day, reportedly told officers that he drank wine all night and then drank half a bottle of mouthwash to cover the smell. Florida law considers a driver with a blood alcohol level of .08 to be impaired.

The man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
