It may still turn your head to see a Segway scooter rolling down the street... and it may turn you head even quicker to see one being driven at four o'clock in the morning on the streets of Jackson... and it may turn your head even more quickly to see a police officer driving a Segway at four o'clock in the morning on the streets of Jackson... but that's just what an 18-year old woman saw early this morning, before she was arrested.

Jackson Police tell News 10 that the first arrest made by one of their officers riding the Segway, a 2-wheeled, electronic, upright, motorized vehicle, took place in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Police say they caught a drunk driver who paused to notice the odd appearance of the Segway, and didn't notice that the driver of that Segway was a police officer. Officer Lewis Costley had seen the car traveling at a high rate of speed on East Biddle Street. When the car stopped at the intersection of Francis street, Officer Costley rode up on his unusual looking transport, and determined that the 18-year old girl had been drinking. The driver, who is not being identified until her arraignment, was arrested for operating while intoxicated.

The Jackson Police department has owned the Segway for a month. It is being used as an alternative to gas-guzzling patrol cars.
