Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 public intoxication isnt really a funny matter, but i really did get a laugh out of this, and the comments on the chicago tribune website were even funnier. ---------- Main Story: A man was charged with drunken driving after going through two bottles of wine, cutting through a snowstorm on his lawn mower and riding down the center of the street to reach a liquor store, authorities said. Police found Kozumplik, 49, homeward bound on a Deere tractor Saturday night, toting four bottles of wine in a paper bag, officials said. He told officers that his wife had taken their car to work, and that the mower was the only way he could reach the store, two miles from home. His blood alcohol level was 2 1/2 times Michigan's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent, police told WLEN-FM. They arrested him and confiscated the mower. Kozumplik declined to comment Monday night. ------------ And for my very favorite comments on the comments board: They once arrested me walking home from the bar. I admit it, I was drunk, But the cop gave me a W.U.I. (walking under the influence). I did not mind the fine but then they took away my tennis shoes for a year. mo res " To Heck With The Snow " Joined: Sep 17, 2007 Comments: 4428 Warrenton, MO ---------- If only he had a plow attached to the tractor......... ---------- OK, yes, he could have hurt someone, and he was in a public roadway, BUT 1. Shouldn't it have been an MOI?(or maybe it was a Deering...) 2. Assuming it hits his auto insurance rate,(and that he has a car) is it unreasonable to expect that he pleas it down to a non- " mo(w)ing " violation? 3. Wonder whether the officer made him remain on the tractor while he called it in. 4. Probable cause to search the leafbag for evidence likely to be destroyed? 5. Yes, I, know, civil so N/A, but think the Officer was tempted to read him his MOWranda? 6. Same facts, Sheriff Andy would have just made him sleep it off in the Tank (assuming he left the shotgun at home).

" You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to a leaf-bag attachment. If you cannot afford an attachment, one will be provided for you. You have the right to 2-in-1 oil. You have the right to a landscaper. If you cannot afford a landscaper, one will be found to mulch for you. " Oh, the possibilities......endless.
