Police said Connie Lebo, 63, was riding around the Country Manor mobile home park while intoxicated.

Police said they first received a report of a woman crawling around a yard in the mobile home park at 4:23 a.m. When they arrived, Lebo was sitting in her motorized wheelchair and appeared drunk, police said. She told the police she had crashed the wheelchair, police said.

Her blood alcohol level was .16, twice the legal limit for driving, police said.

The police should be thankful that she didn't lead them into a high speed pursuit in that trailer park. No telling what the damages could have been

Well I Tell ya

When I see that Hoveround commercial
& everyone is too lazy to walk

& they are weaving in & out of each other,
doing slo-mo donuts etc.

I would like to see a dozen Squad
cars come flying in on a major Bust

& Yes I'd bet most who use them to travel around the malls
& Walmart, would have no problem walking on the stage of
the price is right & Hamming it up,
or jumping around in a casino
if they hit a jackpot
