A police officer in Jackson, Michigan was able to get one more alleged drunk driver off the street on July 29, 2008. Luckily, no high speed chase was necessary. Apparently, the alleged drunk driver was so wasted that she failed to notice that she was involved in a chase with a cop on a Segway. Puttering along at 12 miles per hour, the Segway was able to capture the 18 year old (ohh underage too) when the genius decided to stop. I’m thinking that if a cop on an upright scooter is chasing me, I could manage to shake them. Just another reason not to drink and drive. Of course there is no mention about the Blood Alcohol Content but I’m sure it wasn’t as high as that joker in Rhode Island who blew almost a .50…now that is serious drunk. Doctors said he is lucky to be alive and the guy actually was able to get in a car somehow. Remind me never to offer to take that guy out for a night on the town.
