In the first incident, police say a 45-year-old man fell from his scooter on Waverly Street just after 2 p.m. Monday. He was allegedly traveling the wrong way on the street at the time of the fall.
The investigation revealed the rider had almost four times the legal limit of alcohol. He was uninjured and charged.
