A Florida man was nabbed when he was reportedly seen driving a riding lawnmower down the highway while allegedly intoxicated.
Last Wednesday, a Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputy reported that he watched as a man allegedly navigated at a crawling pace down Highway 316 while sitting atop a riding lawnmower.
The deputy hailed the driver to pull over his unorthodox vehicle for highway driving, and when interacting with the man the officer said that he believed he could smell liquor.
When the authorities found a vehicle stalled in traffic with the driver asleep behind the wheel, they allegedly discovered over $1,000 and a vial filled with what was purported to be cocaine.
Just after 2:00 am on July 27, the Lincoln Police Department was notified about a BMW that had reportedly come to a complete stop in the middle of the road that was blocking the other travelers from continuing down the street.
When the police arrived at the reported location they noted that a man was in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, and he appeared as if he was not in a state of consciousness.
