CARLISLE — A man facing sentencing on a drunken-driving conviction couldn't get a ride to court. So he start walking.

And walking.

Stephen Shoemaker was scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday for sentencing.

Shoemaker, 33, of Shippensburg, doesn't have a car or driver's license. So he started hoofing it to the courthouse at dawn. He kept walking for about 25 miles in 90-plus-degree heat.

Shoemaker arrived about 3:30 p.m. — after a detour to a hospital, where he was treated for dehydration.
