Drunk Man Drives Lawnmower to store!

[drumbunny1]

ADRIAN, Mich. — A man was charged with drunken driving after going through two bottles of wine, cutting through a snowstorm on his lawn mower and riding down the center of the street to reach a liquor store, authorities said.

Police found Frank Kozumplik, 49, homeward bound on a John Deere tractor Saturday night, toting four bottles of wine in a paper bag, officials said.

He told officers that his wife had taken their car to work, and that the mower was the only way he could reach the store, two miles from home.

His blood alcohol level was 2 1/2 times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police told WLEN-FM. They arrested him and confiscated the mower.

Kozumplik declined to comment Monday night.

Okay, I am totally against drunk driving, but..............:wah:

Might be a good slogan for John Deere- "When all else fails...trust John Deere!":D

Okay, I see the humor here.

But shouldn't something be done to that liquor store? Aren't bars liable for not cutting folks off?

This guy registered 2.5 times the legal limit and was carrying 4 bottles he'd just bought!

He was going to turn him in but he wasn't sure whether to call the cops or the local agricultural center..
