A Different Take on Drunk Driving

This is from a man who was arrested, and had his license revoked for 6 months, for "operating a vehicle" while intoxicated.  Where was he operating his vehicle?  His own front yard.  And what was the vehicle you ask?  His bicycle.  And how was he operating it?  He was walking it.

But hey... we have to show zero tolerance to these sorts of crimes right?  Via Radley Balko.

That is a pretty unbelievable story. Absurd.

Yes. Unbelievable enough that someone at the original site posted a link to the text of his appeal, which states that "it appears appellant was riding a bicycle on a sidewalk"
