Electric Scooter Rider Charged With Super Extreme DUI (Part I) – Everything Law and Order Blog

On October 26, 2018 at approximately 8:40 am, Shelton Christopher Begay was riding a Bird electric scooter in the number three lane of southbound Rural Road approaching Broadway Road in Tempe, Arizona, when he collided with a vehicle driven by G.S., who was driving a Dodge Dart in the number two lane of southbound Rural.

Begay fled the scene but was later located at 1105 East Broadway Road when a passerby saw him laying on the median, “holding his scooter and his head.” Responding officers noted that Begay appeared intoxicated, and a subsequent blood test would reveal that he sure was, remarkably coherent at .285% BAC.

This video covers the portion of the police investigation beginning before officers located Begay. It shows the police response to the 911 call of G.S., the driver whose Dart the scooterist struck when he failed to stay in his lane.

As for Begay (who you will meet in Part II as soon as it’s finished), he was transported to Tempe Saint Luke’s Hospital for treatment of his injuries. A slew of charges were recommended by police, and the prosecutor ultimately charged Begay with super extreme DUI (.2% BAC and over), endangerment, reckless driving, and criminal damage.

Begay has the unenviable honor of being the first electric scooter rider to ever be charged with DUI in Tempe.

On January 18, 2019 Begay failed to appear for his arraignment and a warrant was issued for his arrest. On top of that, it seems that more charges were added as well: failure to remain at the scene of an accident and failure to exchange information at the scene of an accident.

If convicted of just the DUI charge, Begay faces a mandatory minimum of 45 days and a maximum of six months in county jail as well as over $3,000 in fines and fees. Arizona does not mess around with people who drive while intoxicated.

The 24-page arrest report and report of DUI investigation, as well as scene photos, will be available shortly to Patreon supporters. (Thank you.)

Enjoy!

  1. I have no desire watching police protected the protected gender. So an almost always get treated like royalty by cops. It's illegal and infuriating. Please don't trick me into watching your "white knight" videos. If it's a dude who is getting arrested don't show a woman on the thumbnail. I just want to see entitled feminist gong shows catch their charges. And we all know I'm not the only one! LET THAT PENDULUM SWING ON BACK YEEHAW!! The age of woke is coming to an end.

  2. she has a dignity health shirt on 😪 she works in some type of hospital or urgent care setting and this makes her cry?! I hope no one around her gets a cold, she’s probably ready to break the all black out and mourn.

  3. Man, some of yall are wild in these comments. She has a portrait Driver's License, yall, which means she is a minor in this video. Just thought I would point that out. Adult Driver's Licenses are laid out in Landscape…
