YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Youngstown Police have cited a man who they say was driving an electric mobility scooter with an open can of beer.

According to police, Brown shouted out to officers,”Leave them alone!”

Police stopped Brown and issued all three men open container citations.
They have been ordered to appear before a judge in Youngstown Municipal Court on May 22.
Court records show Brown has been convicted of previous open container violations in Youngstown in 2014 and 2016.
