(WHDH) — A 29-year-old man celebrating four months of sobriety was arrested after authorities say he got drunk and stole a motorcycle earlier this month.
Jackson Brady Hanley Jr., 29, is facing a felony charge of theft of means of transportation in connection with an incident at a dealership in Mesa, Arizona, on the afternoon of Feb. 11, AZFamily.com reported.
Hanley, who allegedly admitted to being drunk off of Moscato wine and vodka, grabbed a Kawasaki motorcycle from the dealership and started pushing it down the street, according to court documents obtained by the news outlet.
