Amputee & Pedal Friend Each Get DUI
DUI criminal defense lawyer news - new defense?
Police in Wisconsin have cited a legless man and his friend on a drunk driving charge, saying the amputee was at the wheel while his friend worked the pedals.
It was the third and second such DUI or drunk driving arrests for the men, respectively.
Police say the amputee was sitting in the driver's seat and allegedly told officers he had too much to drink.
The amputee apparently argued he wasn't really driving since the other man was on the brake and accelerator.
Police say a third man in the truck, who was also drunk, walked himself home after the traffic stop
