A man has been arrested in Iowa after he was pulled over while driving a lawn mower on a highway while under the influence of alcohol.
On Wednesday night, reports came in that a man was driving a lawn mower all over the road with no headlights on. Officers caught up with the man on Highway 17 near Madrid, Iowa, outside of Des Moines.
Robert Grimstad, 38, was arrested by police for driving under the influence of alcohol after his blood alcohol level was tested at .190, more than double the .08 limit. Grimstad told police that he was out picking up cans.
The Des Moines Register reported that the lawn mower was a six-speed Bolens model with a top speed of 5 miles per hour.
I guess this is what happens with people who live and drink a little too much in Iowa. Not something you hear about everyday in California. But what a great story to tell over his next beer.
A drunk Ohio woman was arrested and sentenced to three days in jail after looking for love in all the wrong places or more specifically, the 911 emergency system.
57 year old Audrey Scott, of Alliance, Ohio, called the 911 emergency system at least five times in an hour. When the operator answered, Scott asked the operator to find her a husband.
The operator warned that misusing 911 can result in an arrest, which Scott replied "absolutely."
Scott was convicted of misusing 911, and was sentenced to three days in jail. When asked why she did it, Scott replied that it was because of alcohol.
Time to drop that bottle of Jack. If she likes to drink a lot and wants to find a husband or at least some action, then just send her to the nearest bar. I am sure she will have no trouble there. Get me that husband!
An argument at a South Carolina motel got out of control as one of the guests decided to use a snake as a weapon against the other guest. The argument began last Tuesday at a motel in the city of Rock Hill, just south of Charolette.
The victim, an unidentified male, told police that he confronted the suspect, 29 year old Tony Smith, when the music coming from Smith's room was too loud.
The confrontation was not eventful and appeared to be over. Or that is what they thought.
A few hours later, Smith saw and attacked the victim outside of his room and hit him in the head with nothing other than a four foot python snake. Police were called, and Smith was arrested for assault and battery. The snake was released to family members.
Well, there are pros and cons of using a python snake as a weapon. Pros : Doesn't make a lot of noise, people usually don't like snakes, pythons are big and strong, you can disable a person without mortally injuring them, think taser but four feet long. Cons : Most people do not have snakes just lying around, especially at motels, the snake could be heavy which doesn't allow for great mobility, and a snake doesn't usually cause a lot of injury, if that is what you want to do.
