A Minnesota man has pled guilty to driving while drunk. The only hitch - he was driving a La-Z-Boy.
According to the Duluth News Tribune, Dennis LeRoy Anderson departed from a bar in Proctor, a town in northern Minnesota, and started to drive his chair home one night in August 2008.
However, the 62-year-old crashed the La-Z-Boy into a parked car. He was not seriously injured, but police found that his blood alcohol level was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit.
Anderson admitted to drinking eight or nine beers, a criminal complaint stated.
As for the chair, which was powered by a lawnmower engine and tricked out with headlights, a stereo and a steering system, is going to be auctioned off by police at an undetermined date.
The Minnesota senior will serve two years probation.Read more:

Yesterday we told you about Dennis LeRoy Anderson, who plead guilty to DWI after piloting his motorized La-Z-Boy into a parked car while intoxicated. Today we've got pictures from police impound of Mr. Anderson's bitchin' custom hot rod rocker.
Among the many, many awesome things about this 8HP Kohler-powered motorized chair are the embroidered "NHRA" back, custom installed stereo, working headlights, a fake nitrous tank and braking parachute, a built-in cup holder and classy pinstriping. Oh, let's not forget the "Hell Yeah It's Fast" bumper sticker. If you happen to be anywhere near Proctor, Minnesota, be advised this magnificent piece of machinery will be sold off at the police auction in the near future. [The Smoking Gun]
