There's been a whole rash of drunks in charge of motor mowers lately - and here's another, this time from Michigan.

Frank Kozumplik had drunk two bottles of wine and fancied a drop more, so he rode to the nearest liquor store on his lawnmower, despite the snowstorm that meant he had to stick to the center of the street. When police caught up with him, Kozumplik was homeward bound, having bought four more bottles of wine. When questioned he told police that he had no choice other than to use the mower, as his wife had taken the car to work

With a blood alcohol level 2 1/2 times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police had no choice but to arrest him and confiscate the mower.

The things some folk will do to get out of mowing the lawn.
