CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) -- A man facing sentencing on a drunken-driving conviction couldn't get a ride to court. So he start walking. And walking. Stephen Shoemaker was scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday for sentencing.

Shoemaker, 33, of Shippensburg, doesn't have a car or driver's license. So he started hoofing it to the courthouse at dawn. He kept walking for about 25 miles in 90-plus-degree heat.

Shoemaker arrived about 3:30 p.m. - after a detour to a hospital, where he was treated for dehydration.

Judge Edward Guido had issued an arrest warrant when Shoemaker failed to appear. But he agreed to defer sentencing until July. Guido said he hesitated only because "that means he'll have to walk back to Shippensburg."

Deputy Public Defender Anthony Adams volunteered to give Shoemaker a ride home.

He should walk in few hours in advance.

Yet... he shouldn't be drunk and drive in first place. ;)
 
Walking 25 miles to complete his community service? :lol: Not enough?
 
lolololol once again.... Richard continues to humor us with these odd news. He's lucky that the judge was lenient to defer the sentencing. I guess he's too broke to call a cab or just not "right" in the head.

What if he couldn't get a cab?

The lawyer should have been kind enough to give him a ride. After all, it's his client.

Suit yourself.
 
Uh, Why couldn't that guy call a friend or someone else for a ride to the court as well?

Indeed, He's lucky the judge was willing to defer the sentencing.
