In Massachusetts, the scooter does not qualify as a "motor vehicle" so he couldn't be arrested for drunk driving ("Operating Under the Influence," here).

But he could be taken in on larceny of the scooter, disorderly person, and breach of the peace.

First time that I have read this news article ... this is an issue with the man being drunk ... driving on the roadways is a detriment to other drivers out there. We need to opinion our opposition to impaired driving .. no matter what kind of vehicle is involved.

MP: probably lots of coverage, though come to think, at 4 am, maybe there weren't quite so many choppers in the air.
