Driven Up -- and Through -- the Wall
Feeling angry about the size of your federal paycheck? Glenn Sparling of Ravenden Springs, Ark., certainly is.
Sparling says he's a former federal employee who wasn't paid what he was owed for his work. So Sunday afternoon, he decided to take out his anger on the nearest federal building he could find -- the local post office.
Sparling, according to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, drove his 1984 Chevy Blazer into town -- and straight through the wall of the post office.
But that apparently wasn't enough to calm him down. Because when the Blazer broke down on his way home, Sparling walked the rest of the way, then got behind the wheel of his 1972 Ford Mustang, and drove that back to the post office -- and right through the hole he had previously made.
"This time he really crammed it in there," said Ravenden Springs Police Chief Kevin Montgomery.
Luckily, nobody was in the building because it was Easter Sunday. As of Monday, the post office was open for business -- and Sparling was awaiting trial on multiple charges, including driving while intoxicated.
