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!
A child was caught drinking from a beer bottle live on television during a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game on Sunday. During the game between the Phillies and Padres, a child is seen grabbing a beer bottle, placing it to his lips, and taking a swig of it. Nearby fans do not seem to notice the child and the beer bottle.
Phillies spokeswoman Bonnie Clark can only speculate that the bottle was empty, but it will never be known as the child has not been identified. Police are not launching an investigation.
I think it is pretty funny to see this kid drinking out of a beer bottle. That is, I think it is funny to see a random child who I do not know drinking out of a beer bottle. I don't have kids, but I would be ashamed if it was my child in this video even though I don't think it is that big of a deal. Looks like they are starting early though.
But what is up with all these stories about Phillies fans for better or for worse. Mostly for worse. At least I have more stuff to write about. Can't wait for the next fan incident, so check back often.
Seems like everyone in Russia has a drinking problem, including chimpanzees. Yes, a chimp Zhora, a circus chimp, became aggressive towards handlers and was transfered to a zoo in Rostov, Russia, where he became a father chimp, learned to draw, and became hooked on drinking and smoking. The zookeepers decided that Zhora's last hope was rehab for his problems.
Zhora's zookeepers must have a drinking problem also.
