Man pleads guilty to DWI in motorized La-Z-Boy

DULUTH, Minn. ? A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.

Prosecutors say Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.

Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.

Sixth Judicial District Judge Heather Sweetland stayed 180 days of jail time Monday and ordered two years of probation for Anderson. His attorney, David Keegan, did not immediately return a call for comment.




I don't know what amazes me more. That he got nabbed for drunk driving in his la-z-boy or he was so lazy he motorized his la-z-boy.

I thought the point of drunk driving laws was to prevent you from injuring others... Who the fuck are you gonna harm with a lazyboy?

We live in the nanny state now. The laws are there to protect you from hurting yourself.

Unless he was driving down the middle of the road, which could cause a driver to swerve to avoid him, which could cause an accident. If he was just cruising along the sidewalk at 2mph, then I think it's kind of ridiculous.

Who said he was on the road? He could've just as easily been on the sidewalk and bumped a car. Either, I want that lazyboy!
