A Freeport man was indicted on Thursday, Jan. 29, for a mid-morning drugged driving crash that seriously injured a U.S. postal worker on the job in October 2025, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced. Butt is due back in court on March 5, and if convicted, he faces up to 7 years in prison. Butt drove his car onto the shoulder of Merrick Road, crushing the postal worker against the back of his mail truck and sending the mail truck crashing into two unoccupied parked cars, she said. The postal worker suffered a fractured left femur, requiring the implantation of a rod, a fractured left ankle, two spinal fractures, and significant internal bleeding, which required several blood transfusions, Donnelly said. A blood sample drawn after the crash also revealed the presence of oxycodone and cocaine in Butt’s system, Donnelly said.
