Before anyone gets to upset here. Lawnmowers don’t even go that fast.
This 64-year-old man in Georgia named Willie Laguines was arrested for DUI…and it was pretty obvious. He was having trouble staying on the highway. Police actually saw him drinking from a beer can…while he was driving a lawnmower.
Cops asked him what he was doing, and he said he went to a convenience store to get beer…and he was on his way home. Slowly…on a lawnmower. He said it took him about 15 minutes to drive to the convenience store on the mower.
He was blitzed at the time. The cops say his breath smelled like alcohol, and he threw an empty beer can on the ground, right in front of the cops. I mean he was done with that can in particular.
Willie was together enough to realize he should not be driving a lawnmower. He asked the deputies “to give him another chance” because “he had been in this situation previously.” Willie seems like a good man to admit his faults.
He said he was hit by a car earlier this year while riding a lawnmower on the road. Mainly because people don’t pay attention to drunks driving lawnmowers on the road. Put your phones and beer down on the road please.
Willie was arrested and charged with a DUI and having an open container, plus he was hit with a low-speed vehicle violation. I’m sure George Jones is smiling in heaven over this.
