OGDEN, Ark. (AP) - An allegedly drunken bicyclist wound up getting a ride to
jail after a state trooper saw him take a clumsy spill at a state highway
intersection.
Don Evans, 46, was riding where U.S. 71 and Grand Street intersect early
Saturday when he fell from his mountain bike onto the highway pavement.
Trooper Jamie Gravier was about 50 feet away.
"He was pedaling through the intersection of Highway 71 at the Grand Street
crossover and fell off the bike. The pedals kept hitting the kickstand and
he couldn't keep it up. He was in the middle of the southbound lanes of
traffic," Gravier said.
"I saw it happen and thought 'Lord, don't let someone come around the
curve.' I turned on the emergency lights and positioned the car to warn
motorists. Fortunately nobody was coming or he would have been run over,"
Gravier said.
Gravier took the man to the hospital, where he was treated and released. He
was then taken to the jail and charged with public intoxication.
