Sometimes, DUIs can happen in the most unexpected of places.
At 1:22 am on Sunday morning, Essex County Police say that they spotted a lawnmower exiting the drive-through of a restaurant in Leamington, Ontario.
When officers approached the man, 41, he reportedly showed signs of driving under the influence and was arrested for further testing.
The unnamed driver was eventually charged with operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.08. His court appearance is now scheduled for May 3, 2023.
In a public statement, the OPP stated that they “want to remind the public that operating a truck, car or lawn mower, vessels such as a fishing boat, personal watercraft, kayak, or canoe, while impaired by drug or alcohol can result in drivers license suspensions, fines, vehicle impoundments, criminal records & increased insurance costs.”
Whether at Arby’s or Mcdonald’s, drive-through DUIs have established themselves as something of an unexpected trend over the past few months. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first that involved a lawnmower.
