BERLIN - A wheelchair-bound German stunned police when they pulled him over for using the road and found he was 10 times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers.

Police said that because the man was technically traveling as a pedestrian, he could not be charged with a driving offense. “It’s not like we can impound his wheelchair,” the spokesman for police in the northeastern city of Schwerin said Tuesday. “But he is facing some sort of punishment. It’s just not clear yet what exactly that will be.”
