MELBOURNE, Fla. – A 39-year-old man was arrested on allegations of driving a motorized scooter while drunk and crashing into shelves Sunday at a Walmart in Melbourne, police said.

According to Melbourne police, the man was driving a Walmart scooter and had his open backpack sitting in the scooter basket, where an opened bottle of Smirnoff vodka could be seen.

Police said the man was seen swaying in the scooter and running into shelves and he nearly stuck other customers. Police said the man had “glassy eyes” and smelled like alcohol.

The scooter driver was unresponsive when he was asked to show his ID and had to be taken to a patrol vehicle on a stretcher, police said. The man refused a breath test when he was taken into custody, according to police. ............(more)

2. Let me know when they ticket some of those harried parents that load the kids in those gargantuan

plastic kiddies' carts that scarcely maneuver and that use them as battering rams against other customers.

I feel for harried parents trying to shop with their kids, but those things are a prime reason I shop in the wee hours of the morning. Frankly, I'd take the drunk on the scooter any day compared to some of them.

3. I think DUI is a stretch

especially as he wasn't on a road.
