Handicap Scooter Bumper Car Competition At Walmart Ends In 2:30 AM Arrest Of Drunken Louisiana Guy
The Smoking Gun ^ | December 19, 2011

Posted on 12/22/2011 9:43:33 AM PST by Gamecock

An early morning game of drunken bumper cars--using Walmart handicap scooters--was broken up Saturday morning by Louisiana cops who arrested a 22-year-old man who copped to driving to the store while intoxicated.

Officers with the West Monroe Police Department arrived at the Walmart around 2:30 AM in response to a call about a disturbance. Store management told cops that a group of intoxicated suspects were “playing ‘bumper cars’ with the handicap scooters in the store,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

A police sergeant contacted Christopher Butler, who appeared “very intoxicated.” Butler, pictured at right, admitted driving his 2004 Ford truck to the retailer after consuming “five to six beers.” A subsequent Breathalyzer recorded Butler’s blood alcohol content as .133 (the legal limit is .08).

Butler’s fellow bumper car enthusiasts apparently escaped arrest.

Oh, Chris. This is not the time to be volunteering this type of information.

It's nice to know that things are normal in West Monroe.

I was in Wal-Mart last week and I thought I would go crazy! The cars being used kept beeping all over the store, I guess as a kind of warning system like big rigs use when backing up. Why is it I never see a skinny person using the devices?
