Man Gets 5 Years For Drunken Scooter Ride
On October 23, 2010, someone called the police in Greenwood, Indiana after being hit by a beer bottle. The police found the defendant driving (riding?) along with his wife on a scooter. The police pulled the defendant over and arrested him for battery (assault in Texas). He had a BAC level of 0.21 percent, which is two-and-a-half times the legal limit in Indiana. He was charged with
DWI.
Because of his prior "drunk driving" convictions he was charged as a habitual offender. In Texas, a first time DWI is a
Class B Misdemeanor. It is ramped up to a Class A on the second offense. After that, any subsequent DWI becomes a
Felony DWI, with enhanced range of punishments.
