Two drunk men arrested for driving same vehicle
2007-08-28
Can ya drive?
I have to. I'm too drunk to walk...

Two Dorchester men were arrested for operating the same vehicle while intoxicated in the Colby-Abbotsford area. Harvey J. Miller, 43, who has no legs, was steering the 1985 Chevrolet truck from the driverÂ’s seat while Edwin H. Marzinske, 55, operated the break and gas pedals, according to the police report.
Teamwork. It's the American Way...
They were headed northbound on Hiline Avenue in Abbotsford when police pulled them over at 2:40 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 18. Miller admitted he was too drunk to drive but argued he wasnÂ’t operating the vehicle because he couldnÂ’t push the pedals.
He was..legless, ya might say.
Miller was issued a citation for a third drunk driving offense, while Marzinske was cited for a second. Both men were also cited for operating after revocation.
Sounds like they've worked this routine a few times...
A third drunk man in the vehicle walked himself home after the incident.
He must be "the smart one".

I think this is a very weak legal defense. In fact, I'd say he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
