'DWI Chair' Returns...Again

August 6, 2010

If you never got a chance to place a bid on the infamous 'DWI chair,' you have another shot.

Proctor Police hope the third time's the charm, in their ongoing attempt to find a buyer for the motorized chair.

The chair was forfeited to authorities after a Proctor man drove it while drunk in 2008.

Authorities say the chair's former owner was three times over the legal limit when he crashed into a parked car.

Police say next week Oberfoell Auctioneers will pick the chair up, and officials say it is expected to appear online in the near future.

Two previous attempts to auction the chair off to the highest bidder failed after gaining national attention.
