Man drives car into post office, gets another car, does it again

Not only the postman rings twice. A Jackson County man remains in jail after he drove two cars into the post office in Ravenden Springs.

Randolph County Sheriff Gary Tribble said Glenn Irvin Sparling, 65, drove one vehicle into the post office on Sunday and fled the scene. The car stopped running, the sheriff said, and Sparling went home and got another vehicle, a red antique sports car, and headed back to the post office.

A deputy spotted Sparling and gave chase, Tribble said. The pursuit ended when Sparling ran the sports car into the post office.

Sparling wasn't hurt, the sheriff said, but there is an 8-foot by 8-foot hole in the post office.

A spokesman for postal service said Sparling had damaged a post office previously. The sheriff said Sparling had a history of damaging postal buildings. No one was in the post office when it was hit.
