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.

[JR: As an injineer, I admire “enginenuity”. As a little L libertarian, I question applying Big Brother DWI laws to basically lawn mowers. He did cause damage so that mitigates my question. But it wasn’t personal injury. Now that the Gooferment is paying for golf carts, I think we can expect more of this nonsense soon. I highlight this as a positive “where there is a will, there’s a way” inineering spirit. To bad he did NOT go to MC, he’d have learned to drink responsibly and harness that talent. I know all my fellow alum are responsible and creative. Hope I can be too.]
