The vehicle in this case wasn’t a car but an adult-sized tricycle.

Around 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon, an OSP officer contacted a group of intoxicated people at Tenmile Lakes County Park.

A 58-year-old Lakeside man identified as William David Bjorkquist told the officer he planned to ride his purple tricycle home.

The officer advised Bjorkquist, who was under the influence at the time, not to operate the tricycle while intoxicated.

Bjorkquist told the officer he would push the tricycle while walking home.

A short time later, the officer spotted Bjorkquist riding the tricycle against traffic along Park Avenue. The officer then witnessed the man ride through a stop sign and down the wrong side of South 11th street.

Bjorkquist was taken into custody and charged with DUII.

He was then cited and released from the Coos County Jail.
