Legless, drunken driver arrested in Youngstown
Published: Fri, August 8, 2008 @ 3:22 p.m.
YOUNGSTOWN — A legless 65-year-old Boardman man naked from the waist down was charged with driving drunk after first hitting a car at the Market Street/Indianola Avenue intersection around 10 p.m. Thursday and then hitting another one a few minutes later at the Market Street/Warren Avenue intersection, police said.
John E. Carlon of Hunters Glen was arraigned today in municipal court on charges of operating a vehicle impaired, failure to maintain an assured clear distance and failure to stop after an accident. He will be back in court Sept. 24 for a pretrial hearing.

I'm no lawyer but based on what I've read this guy doesn't have a leg to stand on when this thing goes to trial.
it's going to cost him an arm and a leg to get out of this.
he really went off on a limb doing this.
Very funny Dude!, nobody calls me lebowski
the judge is going to have to rule by the seat of his pants...no ifs, ands or buts.
could you see getting hit by this guy, and then he gets out....assuming you're not horribly hurt, what's your reaction?
and what is it with naked guys running (excuse me, you know what i mean) around boardman lately....this is the third or fourth story i've seen in the past few weeks
How exactly was he driving? Was his car specially equipped? Who was manning the brake pedal? Or shouldn't we go there!! I wonder if he was charged with public nudity?
Give the guy a break...if I lost both my legs I would drink too.
Give the guy a break? You know what, you're right; in spite of the fact that this guy used his 2,000+ lb. car as a battering ram while under the influence he should be given a break. All bad jokes aside he needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, legs or not he is clearly a danger to society. I'm all for people having the right to be depressed about their situations but not to the point where others are put in danger.
He was probably just trying to get a leg up on his competition.
this guy is fricken retarded how can he even drive
So the guy partied a little to much, we should all be so foot loose and fancy free. I'd bet you anything they let him go on his own recognizance, It's not like he's going to skip town.
