(Tempe, Arizona) On October 26, 2018 at approximately 8:40am, self-described Navajo Indian 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 swerved and 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 quickly 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 — lab tests returning a remarkably high .285% BAC, considering that Begay was mostly-coherent. This video covers the first half of the police and fire department encounter with Shelton Begay, as they evaluate his story and injuries, find his stash of 99 Bananas schnapps, and work to assist Begay in recalling where he lives. Oh, right - they also make a half-hearted attempt at convincing Begay to join the military. I don't foresee that happening any time ever. Begay 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 the scooterist with super extreme DUI (.2% BAC and over), endangerment, reckless driving, and criminal damage. Of note, Begay has the unenviable honor of being the first electric scooter rider to ever be charged with DUI in Tempe. Of further note, Real World Police has the somewhat-enviable honor of having acquired and published - for your education and enjoyment - the first-ever video of the first-ever electric scooter DUI in Tempe. So where are things now? Well, on January 18, 2019 Shelton Begay failed to appear for his arraignment and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Apparently not thrilled with Begay's failure to appear, new charges were filed alongside the FTA warrant. The new additions: failure to remain at the scene of an accident and failure to exchange information at the scene of an accident. If convicted of only 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, Begay's mug shot, and the full 911 call audio, are all available now to Patreon supporters, who also had early access to this video.
