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.
Police arrested a man who who caused a five vehicle accident on a Connecticut highway after he claimed he was Jesus.
Officers responded to a disturbance on Interstate 95 in Darien, Connecticut. An unidentified man was naked and yelling to drivers passing by that he was Jesus.
When police approached, the naked man jumped into a vehicle and drove off. Shortly after, police were able to pull the car over.
During the commotion, a big rig jackknifed after it tried to avoid the police and pulled over vehicle with the naked man inside. The big rig flipped and crashed into four other cars.
Police have not released information about the naked man or if he faces charges.
Seems like everyday there is a new story online or on the television about police officers crucifying everyday normal citizens just trying to get by in life.
A man disguised as a Leprechaun robbed a First State Bank in the Nashville, Tennessee suburb of Gallatin on Saint Patrick's Day. The Leprechaun, identified as David Christopher Cotton, and his getaway driver, Jonathan Skinner, attempted to flee by car, but were spotted by police officers and a pursuit began.
The pair, after shooting at another police car, decided to ditch their getaway car and run into a field where they were shot and killed by police during a shootout. Cotton has also been linked to a bank robbery in December while dressed as Santa Claus.
Now I know people are desperate with the economy and with losing their homes and jobs, but really, robbing a bank on Saint Patrick's Day and dressed as a Leprechaun? Could you bring anymore attention to you, other than robbing another bank dressed as Santa Claus near Christmas?
Probably not the best idea to be dressed in all green and with a big Leprechaun hat on during a police shootout.
I guess the cops did find Leprechaun's pot of gold after all.
