Kile Wygle Gets DUI On Motorized Bar Stool

NEWARK, Ohio — Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.

Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.

Seriously, there may be an issue whether it fits the definition of a "motor vehicle." You'd be surprised what DOESN'T qualify.

[TheMuckraker]

Doesnt really matter.
You can get a DUI (also DWI) on a bicycle.

[NJmikeV]

Oh it's a motor vehicle alright. But it's not street legal.That­'s why we have vehicle registration. If we didn't we'd have crap like this causing all kinds of death and destruction on our public roads.

LOL. I've officially heard it all.

You can get a DUI on a bicycle or on a horse. I can understand the bicycle as it is a vehicle under the law, but the horse?

[Darwin48]

Actually..­.it's anything with an engine.

Actually, operating a bicycle while intoxicated qualifies under Oregon law for a DUI, and I'm sure many other states also include human-powered vehicles as well.

It's sad to think he used all of that "engine-oo-ity" to come up with an idea, followed it through and made a motorized bar stool, only to get a DUI.

[ImaSpeakonit]

Chrysler MERGING with Fiat? Cerberus would be lucky to get $1 from Fiat just to get them to take on the debt.

I detest drunk driving and drunk drivers, but his invention has possibilites, if he would use a cleaner engine.

[Telemachus]

Or an engine cleaner.

[Dystopic]

An potheads are the problem?

Probably on his way to the next bar...remi­nds me of what my father-in-law used to say to his wife when he came home drunk. HOW MANY BEERS DID YOU DRINK? She would scream, and he would say, Just two...(and then under his breath he would add) at every bar!
