Houma police: man DWI on a WalMart scooter

Houma Police say they investigated an unusual DWI case Sunday. Cops say they got a call about a man driving a motorized scooter on South Van Avenue, pulling a wheel chair behind it. When they arrived, they found 24-year-old Thomas J. Phillip operating the scooter, and a friend of his riding in the wheelchair.

According to police, Phillip told them he had been at the WalMart on Grand Calliou Road, and decided to take the scooter for a "joy ride." Police say it was at that point they arrested Phillip.

Police say Phillip performed poorly when they administered a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer gave a result of 0.179. Police booked Phillip on a charge of theft and operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Houma Police say the friend riding in the wheelchair was released without incident.

I'm sure it was a joy for Walmart to find that someone stole one of their, what, $ 1,000 or so scooters?

The crime here is theft, probably even PI. DWI? The cop that thought that it was a good idea to arrest the thief for that should be feeling a little embarassed.

What's that mean? Was there a possibility of him exploding or something? :rofl:
