Lawnmower DUI
I’m sure a few of you will doubt the legitimacy of this video, but in America – Land of the Free, Home of the Brave (and John Deere) – a lawnmower DUI isn’t so uncommon. Following the video you’ll find a short excerpt from an Associated Press story reporting on another such case. What’s wrong with a little beer and grass?
ATHENS, Tenn. (AP) – You don’t have to be driving a car to be charged with DUI. An East Tennessee man now faces drunken driving charges — after taking a spin on a riding mower. Athens police say 30-year-old Jimmy Graham Jr. smelled of alcohol and failed a sobriety test. Police say Graham told an officer he had been drinking beer and had taken a prescribed stress reliever. The Daily Post-Athenian reports Graham is also charged with aggravated burglary and theft under $500.
