DUI For Man On Bicycle. Yes, A Bicycle
Once again, from the absurd DUI arrests department…….
Man on bicycle charged with DUI
NAPLES, Fla. — A Tampa man riding a bicycle was charged with driving under the influence after Collier County stopped him in East Naples.
The sheriff’s office reports that 51-year-old Tommy Charles Miller was riding a bike Saturday night without any lights. When deputies stopped him, they reported that his eyes appeared bloodshot, and he smelled like alcohol. Deputies also found two cans of beer in the bike’s front basket.
Miller was arrested and charged with DUI, refusing to submit to a DUI test, having an open alcohol container in public and refusing to sign a citation. He was being held on $7,000 bail.
$7,000.00 bond? For drinking and riding a bicycle? Really? Kudos to all involved in making our roads safer, I guess.
What’s next, walking under the influence?
What do you charge a handi capped person with who is in a wheel chair when he rolls home from the bar? Wheels are wheels right.
