Stupid Criminal: A Man Got a DUI on a Florida Highway, on a Lawn Mower

This guy should’ve waited until AFTER the yardwork was done before he enjoyed a COLD ONE, or 10.

A 38-year-old man in Florida named Christopher Spain is facing charges after troopers say he took his riding mower onto a busy highway while LOADED.

It was also a toll road, so it’s unclear if he had his wallet with him, or if he planned to cover the charges by mail.

The Florida Highway Patrol started getting calls last Friday morning at 8:30 A.M., about a man driving his lawn mower erratically in the southbound lanes.

When the officers arrived, they say Christopher showed several signs of impairment, including small pupils, flushed skin, dry mouth, and visible irritation to the inside of his nose.  He refused a field sobriety test, and was arrested.
