MOULTRIE — A Moultrie man was apprehended after he was allegedly driving a motorized wheelchair scooter at Colquitt County High School Sept. 23.
Robert Gibson, 59, of 522 27th St. S.E., Apt. 11, was charged with DUI, according to information released by the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday.
The high school’s School Resource Officer (SRO) was walking to the parking lot at the school, located on Park Avenue, about 4 p.m. Sept. 23. As he was walking through, he saw a school employee talking with Gibson, who was riding an Invacare motorized wheelchair and went over to provide assistance.
The SRO allegedly spotted an almost empty bottle of vodka on the floor of Gibson’s scooter. Gibson allegedly had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and slobbered all over his shirt, the officer reported, and he admitted to drinking alcohol when asked.
A Colquitt County sheriff’s deputy was called to the scene and gave Gibson a breath test, and it allegedly showed a .293 breath alcohol content. Gibson was then placed under arrest and taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center for detoxification, and a blood test allegedly revealed a .405 alcohol content. After being released from the hospital, he was taken to Colquitt County Jail.
