Some more levity:
Lawnmower and an Illinois DUI – Dennis Cretton of Belleville in southwest Illinois had his driver's license revoked for a drunk driving conviction. He though he could get around the situation by taking his yellow riding mower for a drunken spin to a local gas station for beer. He reportedly weaved through traffic and later tried to evade police while cans of Milwaukee's Best beer were spilling out of a 12-pack. Cretton, 49, was arrested for felony aggravated DUI in Illinois.
Lawnmower and a New York DWI – Randy M. Elliot of Conklin was stopped by police for drinking beer while operating a lawn mower on a public roadway. After registering a blood alcohol content of .28, three and a half times the legal limit, the 47-year old was charged with driving while intoxicated in NY.
Ambulance and Texas DWI – Lawrence Eugene Reyes Jr. of Richards took off with an ambulance while paramedics were attending to a patient inside a Bryan hospital. The 25-year old abandoned the ambulance, undamaged, a few miles away and he was apprehended a few hours later. He was booked in the Brazos County jail for public intoxication, theft and evading arrest. Charges of driving while intoxicated in Texas are being considered.
Backhoe and Ohio DUI – Robert Tite was charged with Ohio DUI a few months ago for driving a bulldozer through his neighbors yard. The 57-year old was stopped again for operating a piece of heavy equipment while intoxicated, this time for driving a backhoe into town. He rolled through a stop sign before pulling up in front of a business in the center of Wakeman. Tite, who appeared confused at the time of arrest, failed a field sobriety test and refused to submit to a breath test. He was booked at the Huron County jail for operating a motorized vehicle while intoxicated.
