- Delaware County Sheriff
A disabled man was cited last Friday after he was pulled over while driving a motorized wheelchair under the influence of alcohol.
Donald Law, a disabled 44-year-old man from Berlin, was caught weaving on a road outside of Columbus. Deputies received several calls from worried drivers who noted his erratic behavior.
He was about a mile away from his home, and he wasn’t about to give in. “I’m not going nowhere,” he is heard saying over the dashcam video.
After some back and forth, he eventually agreed to be taken home, but was slapped with a misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct in the process.
The televised news report can be found here.

….it should air on “Ridiculousness”.
They didn’t give him a DUI charge? Well that’s fine. Disorderly conduct is exactly what he should have been hit with. Its not a play on the fact that he is disabled it just lets him know he shouldn’t get as f’ed up as he did… lord knows there’s a lot of kids in Columbus that knows that fact.
I didn’t know that driving a wheelchair drunk would result in disorderly conduct. I guess you can chalk that up as my fun new fact of the day.
Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
