OREGON STATE POLICE LAKESIDE, OREGON A Lakeside-area man was arrested Friday afternoon by Oregon State Police (OSP) after he was cautioned and then later spotted riding an adult sized tricycle under the influence of alcohol on an area street. On October 3, 2008 at approximately 2:00 p.m. OSP Trooper Dave Timm contacted a group of intoxicated people at Tenmile Lakes County Park. One of the individuals identified as WILLIAM DAVID BJORKQUIST, age 58, from Lakeside, told Trooper Timm he was going to ride his purple "Miami Sun" adult sized tricycle home. Trooper Timm told him not to ride the tricycle because of his obvious intoxicated condition. BJORKQUIST agreed not to ride as his friends said they would help him push it home. A short time later the trooper spotted BJORKQUIST riding the tricycle in the traffic lane on the wrong side of Park Avenue, then ride through a stop sign and down the wrong side of S. 11th Street. Trooper Timm stopped BJORKQUIST who still showed obvious signs of impairment. BJORKQUIST failed field sobriety tests and was taken into custody for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. He was transported to Coos County Jail where was cited to appear and released to custody of jail staff.
