ATLANTA (UPI) — A disabled Georgia man faces drunken driving charges after police stopped him for driving his motorized scooter on the wrong side of the road.
Bob Pruett’s defense apparently is that his motorized scooter is a wheelchair, not a vehicle. He said that if anything, he should have been charged with public drunkenness, WSB-TV in Atlanta reported Wednesday.
Dawson County investigators said Pruett, who has cerebral palsy and has no use of his legs, was on his scooter on the wrong side of the road with a 12-pack of beer in his cart. His blood-alcohol level allegedly registered .125.
Pruett’s attorney said wheelchairs weren’t intended to be covered under the state’s motor vehicle code.

The Old Witness

An old man was a witness in a burglary case. The defense lawyer asked Sam, “Did you see my client commit this burglary?â€
“Yes,†said Sam, “I saw him plainly take the goods.â€
The lawyer asks Sam again, “Sam, this happened at night. Are you sure you saw my client commit this crime?â€
“Yes,†says Sam, “I saw him do it.â€
Then the lawyer asks Sam, “Sam, listen, you are 80 years old and your eye sight is probably bad. Just how far can you see at night?â€
Sam says, “I can see the moon, how far is that?â€
