Cops: Drunk Took Mower to Store in Snow
ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — 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.

damn! i think that guy has a problem.
but weirdos make the world interesting. like that dude who ran past me last saturday when it was ~20 degrees F out and he was only wearing a speedo and a denim vest. yes! we need more people like him and mr. drunken lawn mower.
one thing i regret about living in the city is the dearth of ride-on lawn mowers. those things look awesome. but you know no one riding around on one is sober and it's ridiculous b/c they're essentially driving a giant salad shooter. remember all those "rescue 911" episodes about kids slipping under ride-on lawn mowers? do parents learn? no. they did it for the lolz.
