Going Postal

Ravenden Springs, Arkansas. A small town of around 130 people, one of who obviously has something wrong with him. On March 24, 65-year old Glenn Irvin Sparling drove two cars into a post office.

Yeah try and figure that one out.

I could understand once. He could have been dropping off a package for his granddaughter and forgot to put his car in reverse. You might have heard about the girl last summer who did that exact thing and drove through the plate glass window of the DOT.

Unfortunately, it isn't that simple.

After his car stopped running, Sparling fled the scene and got a red antique sports car. (Uh-oh) A deputy spotted him on the one street through town (probably) and gave chase. This short chase ended when that disturbed man drove his beautiful sports car through the same little post office, joining the other vehicle.

And that is how you can drive two cars into a post office. (do not attempt)

That poor little post office is probably leveled and all the 129 residents of Ravenden Springs that aren't in jail may not get their mail today. Luckily no low-paid postal workers were working at the time.

Mr. Sparling may have some explaining to do. The police later found out that this almost-elderly man has a history of violence against helpless post offices. My question is, Where is he getting this money to continuously run vehicles into the mail distributing centers of small communities.

And as they say, he went postal
