Man caught drunk driving in stolen wheelchair

Utica Police caught 55-year-old Raymound Kulma going on a drunken joyride. But he wasn't behind a wheel of a car, he was cruising on a motorized wheel chair - James Konkel's wheel chair. The arrest was made on Greeley Street, near this Utica senior living complex where James and Raymond got into an argument before the 55-year-old stole James' wheelchair.

Chief Faber said Raymond wasn't just drunk, he was really drunk "Mr. Kulma was three times the legal limit. He didn't pass any of the sobriety tests that he was given."



But this wasn't Raymond's first offence, and his driving record proves it. This was his seventh operating while under the influence charge, some dating back to 1984.

Raymond's licence was suspended four times, revoked twice, and he hasn't had a valid licence since 1993. Konkel had this to say on what he thinks should happen to Raymond, "I think he needs to be locked up for a little while. Maybe it will teach him a lesson."
