Man pleads guilty to DWI in motorized La-Z-Boy - LA Daily News


DULUTH, Minn. — A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk.

A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

Prosecutors say Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.

Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.

Sixth Judicial District Judge Heather Sweetland stayed 180 days of jail time Monday and ordered two years of probation for Anderson. His attorney, David Keegan, did not immediately return a call for comment

Double-Fail....

This must be a common occurrence or something, because it's happened before! Don't recall if the other case was also in MN, or if it was some other brand of recliner, but it's crazy how often this happens.

It's like the prisoner escaping by mailing himself out of jail, happened in at least two different countries at different prisons.

Would it be safe to assume he drove to the bar while intoxicated? I can see no other reason for someone to assume a lawnmower-powered recliner is a means of transportation. With that being said..... Could you possibly think of any other vehicle that would draw more attention to you? wow..

Now with video

Ballin' ride... bet it got impounded .

It did and the police are going to auction it off...

[Eratosthenes]

Does this mean people who are confined to motorized wheelchairs can't even move when they're drunk?

[Alishe]

Damn rednecks are smart.

Northern Ontario Canada, you see shit like that everywhere. Gas powered coolers, recliners, tricked out golf carts. Hell, there's probably a gas powered toilet out there.

Cottage country. If you're not drunk 24/7 they kick your ass back to the city.

It's like a grown up's go cart. Can't say I'd own one but it does look pretty funny.

motored lazyboys are a gateway drug

[Ensam]

I could be mistaken, but wasn't the other story about a motorized bar stool?

[Byrthnoth]

Holy shit, this is fantastic. Someone who makes a motorized lazy boy shouldn't get a DWI though. They should get a LWI and an awesome award.

Shit, now I want to race lazy boys.
