Riding a Lawnmower while drunk

San Diego California DUI criminal defense lawyer news

A Dargaville man has been charged with driving a ride-on lawnmower while DUI drunk.

The 52-year-old was seen by police driving through the Northland town at 9.30pm yesterday.

He was stopped and asked to get the mower off the road. The police officer then discovered the man was a disqualified driver who had been drinking.

Northland police communications officer Sarah Kennett said the man recorded a DUI breath test of more than twice the legal limit.

The lawnmower was impounded for 28 days and the man is to appear in Dargaville District Court this week facing charges of careless driving, driving while disqualified and DUI driving with excess breath alcohol.
