Indiana Supreme Court to visit Martin University

Posted: Updated:
INDIANAPOLIS -

The Indiana Supreme Court will visit Martin University in Indianapolis later this week.

The justices will hear oral arguments Friday in a dispute over whether a Yamaha Zuma moped is a motor vehicle under Indiana law.

The Indiana Court of Appeals reversed Michael Lock's conviction for operating a motor vehicle while suspended, saying the state didn't prove the moped he was riding was a motor vehicle under state law.

Prosecutors argued the Zuma wasn't a moped because Indiana law says mopeds cannot be designed to go more than 25 mph. Lock was traveling at 43 mph when he was stopped.

Each side will have about 20 minutes to argue.
