BRECKENRIDGE - A Summit County Sheriff's deputy arrested a man early Wednesday morning for drunken
bike-riding.
According to the deputy's report, he observed a man identified by a New Mexico driver's license as
Brodie Bell riding a bicycle north on Colorado Highway 9 near North Park Avenue just before 1 a.m.
The bike had no headlight. State law requires bike riders to have a light visible up to 500 feet
when riding at night.
The deputy noted in his report the bike rider was having difficulty staying upright. According to
the report, when the deputy turned on his overhead lights, the bike rider pedaled off on a footpath
east of the highway, according to the report, riding about 15 yards before falling over.
The deputy noted the smell of alcohol when he reached the crashed rider. Bell told the deputy he had
drank two beers, according to the report. Brodie performed roadside sobriety tests and failed, and
refused to take a chemical sobriety test, the deputy said. The deputy searched Brodie and reportedly
found a metal drug pipe.
The deputy arrested Brodie for driving under the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia and
took him to the Summit County Jail.
