Nothin runs like a drunken Deere

Man charged in lawn mower beer run
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VASSALBORO, Maine - A Maine man has been charged with operating under the influence after he and a friend made a beer run on a riding lawn mower.

Police say 51-year-old Danforth Ross of Vassalboro was charged May 29.

Trooper Joe Chretien had been flagged down by several motorists warning of a wayward mower and made the arrest after Ross and his friend emerged from a variety store with two cases of beer.

Ross' driver's licence had been revoked, so the pair opted for the lawn mower.

When are drunk people going to learn that you can't operate any motor vehicle when drunk? It seems like there's been enough of these stories that you'd stop seeing this stuff but I'm glad there hasn't been because I love reading them. If I were to ever drive a lawn mower home drunk I think I'd mow things into people's lawn as a good like "Sex offender lives here." Thats funny.
